dense granule

Cardiology
A specialised spherical storage and secretory vesicle in platelets which contains ADP, ATP, ionised calcium, pyrophosphate and serotonin. Reduced-platelet dense-granule secretion is associated with marked protection against arterial thrombosis, inflammation, and neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury in a mouse model.

The commonly reported mechanisms are decreased life span of platelets due to immunological and non-immunological mechanisms, elevated macrophage colony stimulating factors causing platelet destruction; ultra structural changes like centralization of dense granules, glycogen depletion, formation of pseudopods, and micro aggregation; consumption by diffused intravascular coagulation (DIC) host oxidative stress through oxidization of membrane lipids causing changes in fluidity and permeability of the cell membrane and its effect on fragility (2,3).
