Effects of ethanol on the properties of platelets and endothelial cells in model experiments

Figure 1 Surface expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (A) and urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (B) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell with and without 24-h pre-incubation with ethanol. VCAM-1: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1; uPAR: Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor; HUVEC: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells; PLT: Platelets; Thr.: Thrombin; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide; NS: Not significant.

Figure 2 Surface expression of CD40L (A) and CD62P (B) on platelets after 1-h adherence to human umbilical vein endothelial cell with and without ethanol pre-treatment. PLT: Platelets; Thr.: Thrombin; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide; NS: Not significant.

Figure 3 Direct effects of ethanol on surface expression of CD40L (A) and CD62P (B) on platelets. PLT: Platelets; Thr.: Thrombin; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide; NS: Not significant.
