This is in contrast to our results showing increased platelet levels (770.5 ± 4.2 vs. 603.2 ± 54.0; n = 4 vs. 6; p < 0,01) with increased mean platelet volumes (MPV) (5.1 ± 0.1 vs. 4.8 ± 0.1; n = 4 vs. 6; p < 0,05) as well as slightly elevated hemoglobin levels (11.2 ± 0.5 vs. 9.8 ± 0.3; n = 4 vs. 6; p < 0,05) in NLRP3-/- mice compared to WT following MI (Supplement Fig. 2A, 3A) 22. The gene discussed is NLRP3; the disease is myocardial infarction.
