The effect of ultraviolet radiation on the thrombin-stimulated aggregation of washed pig platelets was studied. It was observed that UV radiation (UV-A, 0.5 W/cm2) inhibited aggregation of pig platelets induced by thrombin. Plasma may have a protective role against the damaging effect of UV light on platelet aggregation.
