Results were obtained by using the perfusion conditions described in the legend to Figure 2 with a wall shear rate of 3000 s-1. The concentrations of the various agents used are reported in the legends to Figure 1 and Figure 2, except for PP2 that was used at 25 μM. The values shown are the mean plus or minus the 95% confidence intervals. Between 180 and 250 platelets were examined in at least 3 separate experiments. The frequency of the different types of [Ca++]i peaks were expressed as percentage of platelets showing at least one Ca++ oscillation of a given type relative to the total number analyzed in the field of view during a 30-second observation period.
