Platelet mitochondrial basal respiration is increased after injury and correlates with clot strength in this rodent hindlimb fracture model. Several mitochondrial-targeted therapeutics exist in common use that are underexplored but hold promise as potential antithrombotic adjuncts that can be sensitively evaluated in this preclinical model.
