Abstract: inhibitors in the collecting tubes, minor aggregation of platelets and consequent release of TxB2 during sampling is largely unavoidable.The raised plasma TxB2 concentrations might therefore in part reflect the increased capacity of the platelets to produce TxB2 during aggregation.That there is an increased generation of TxB2 in re- sponse to thrombin-induced platelet aggregation during pregnancy and puerperium is, however, indisputable.What causes this stimula- tion remains to be investigated.
