Cooperative type of platelet hypersensitivity to ADP

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2005 Sep;140(3):282-4. doi: 10.1007/s10517-005-0467-z.

Abstract

We found that gestosis is associated with platelet hypersensitivity to ADP. Cell P2X1 receptors exhibited a positive cooperative response to ADP (EC(50)=10.88+/-3.70 nM, Hill constant n=2.59+/-0.50 rel. units). Cooperative binding of ADP to platelet P2X1 receptors was also observed during incubation of cells from pregnant women with isosorbide dinitrate.
