Hypoxia impairs agonist-induced integrin αIIbβ3 activation and platelet aggregation

Abstract Under ischemic conditions, tissues are exposed to hypoxia. Although human physiology, to a certain extent, can adapt to hypoxic conditions, the impact of low oxygen levels on platelet function is unresolved. Therefore, we explored how reduction of atmospheric oxygen levels to 1% might affec...
