Reduced vascular NO bioavailability in diabetes increases platelet activation in vivo.

OBJECTIVE: Platelet activation is a feature of cardiovascular disease that is also characterized by endothelial dysfunction. The direct relationship between impaired endothelium-derived NO bioavailability and platelet activation remains unclear. We investigated whether acute inhibition of NO produc...
