Blood obtained from Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) by cardiac puncture was used to develop a method for preparing platelet suspensions suitable for biochemical and aggregometric studies. The aggregation responses of gerbil platelet suspensions to 10 microM adenosine diphosphate and to 0.2 U/mL thrombin were immediate and irreversible. In addition, thrombin produced a short lag period. Bovine acid-soluble collagen (1:800) produced a long lag period coupled with an irreversible aggregation. Indomethacin (10 microM) significantly depressed adenosine diphosphate--induced aggregation but had no effect on thrombin-induced aggregation. Indomethacin significantly prolonged the lag period and reduced the rate of collagen-induced aggregation. Our results strongly indicate that platelet suspensions from the Mongolian gerbil, an animal which is responsive to hypercholesterolemic diets, may be useful in studying dietary lipid factors which influence platelet aggregation.
