Globular adiponectin increases cGMP formation in blood platelets independently of nitric oxide (2008)
Journal Article
Riba, R., Patel, B., Aburima, A., & Naseem, K. M. (2008). Globular adiponectin increases cGMP formation in blood platelets independently of nitric oxide. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 6(12), 2121-2131. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1538-7836.2008.03179.x

Background: Platelet-derived nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to play conflicting roles in platelet function, although it is accepted that NO mediates its actions through soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). This confusion concerning the roles of platelet... Read More about Globular adiponectin increases cGMP formation in blood platelets independently of nitric oxide.
