Serotonin Potentiates High-Glucose–Induced Endothelial Injury: the Role of Serotonin and 5-HT2A Receptors in Promoting Thrombosis in Diabetes

To clarify the involvement of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in promotion of thrombogenesis in diabetes, we examined the inhibitory effect of sarpogrelate, a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, on thrombus formation in diabetic rats. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, polyethylene tube–induced thrombus fo...
