Effect of Thrombolysis on Circulating Microparticles in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Figure 3

Effects of MPs from STEMI patients with or without thrombolysis on NO and O2•− generation. (a) Compared with those in the controls, MPs from CCS patients and STEMI patients before thrombolysis (pre-T) decreased the generation of NO in rat hearts. MPs from STEMI patients 2 hours after thrombolysis (post-T) further decreased the generation of NO in rat hearts. (b) Compared with those in controls, MPs from CCS patients and STEMI patients before thrombolysis (pre-T) increased the production of O2•− in rat hearts. MPs from STEMI patients 2 hours after thrombolysis (post-T) further increase the production of O2•− in rat hearts. The data are ; vs. control; # vs. CCS; λ vs. pre-T, .
