Platelet activation in nocturnal asthma.
TL;DR: Platelet activation, assessed as the ration of beta thromboglobulin to platelet factor 4, was highest when the peak expiratory flow rate was at its lowest in the asthmatic subjects and there was no correlation between platelet activation and plasma catecholamine concentrations.

TL;DR: Results suggest that platelets may be involved in the pathogenesis of allergen‐induced asthmatic reactions, and are associated with bronchoconstriction induced by methacholine.

TL;DR: Intravenous injection of thromboxane A2 into anaesthetized quinea pigs was followed by a pronounced increase in the tracheal insufflation pressure, potency compared to prostaglandin H2, 31-45.
Platelet activation during antigen-induced airway reactions in asthmatic subjects.
TL;DR: Chemical mediators derived from basophils or mast cells are considered to have an important role in the pathophysiology of asthma, however, studies designed to document this relation have provided inconsistent results.
