3. oxLDL stimulates platelet ROS production in a CD36- and NOX2-dependent manner. Simbarashe Magwenzi et al. Blood 2015;125:2693-2703 ©2015 by American Society of Hematology

4. oxLDL-induced ROS generation and activation of gp91phox/NOX2 requires PKC. (A) Washed human platelets incubated with apyrase, indomethacin, and EGTA were treated with PP2 and PP3 and then with LDL before being lysed with ice-cold lysis buffer.26 Lysates wer...

6. oxLDL inhibits cGMP signaling through a mechanism that requires CD36, Src kinases, and PKC. (A) Human platelets (3 × 108 platelets/mL) were incubated with nLDL (50 µg/mL), oxLDL (50 µg/ml), oxPCCD36 (5 µmol/L), or PAPC (5 µmol/L) prior to the addition of 8-... Simbarashe Magwenzi et al.

7. oxLDL inhibits cGMP-signaling through a mechanism that requires NOX2 and intracellular ROS. (A) Platelets (5 × 108 platelets/mL) were incubated with apyrase (2 U/mL), indomethacin (10 µmol/L), and EGTA (1 mmol/L) and treated with MnTMPyP (100 µmol/L) or TEM... Simbarashe Magwenzi et al.
