Analysis of Ferric Protoporphyrin IX Effects on Human Platelets: Hematin Is a More Potent Agonist than Hemin

Hemolysis during severe diseases (malaria, hemorrhagic stroke, sickle cell disease, etc.) and blood transfusion induces the release of free hemoglobin, which degrades to highly reactive and toxic compounds—hemin and hematin.
