Fig. 1 Percent of total releasable 14C-serotonin (dense granule) (??), PF4 (alpha granule) (??), and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (lysosomal granule) (??) after heparin challenge is plotted in bar form. Aspirin, iloprost, and heparin have been added to 500 mm3 of the patients' plateletrich plasma to achieve final concentrations of 4 mmol/L, 0.01 μmol/L and 3 U/ml, respectively.
