Growing insight into the antiplatelet properties of new nitric oxide (NO) donors has expanded their potential use in cardiovascular diseases. As such, we reported that oral administration of a new exogenous NO donor (LA419) induced significant inhibition of platelet deposition on damaged vascular wall without provoking hypotension in an in vivo experimental model. Thrombin is one of the major triggers of platelet deposition and thrombosis on injured vessels; however, the effects of NO on thrombin-induced platelet activation are not fully known. Here, our aim was to investigate the inhibitory effects of exogenous NO administration on the major changes in platelet proteins induced by thrombin.
