HIV-1 induces in vivo platelet activation by enhancing platelet NOX2 activity. [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVES: HIV-1 patients show increased platelet activation, but the mechanisms involved are not completely clarified. We speculated that HIV-1 might induce in vivo platelet activation by enhancing platelet NOX2-related oxidative stress.

Platelets and Anti-platelet Therapy
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003 Platelets play a central role in the hemostatic process and consequently are similarly involved in the pathological counterpart, thrombosis. They adhere to various subendothelial proteins, exposed either by injury or disease, and subsequently become activated by the thrombogenic surface or locally produced agonists.
