The activity of human platelet guanylate cyclase, and the activation of the enzyme by sodium nitroprusside were decreased in platelets with increased aggregability; these platelets were obtained from diabetes mellitus patients. Anomalies in guanylate cyclase activity and ADP-induced aggregation were more pronounced in platelets from subjects with type II than those with type I diabetes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
