Hemorrhagic disorders are common in patients with liver cirrhosis and result from several
factors including impaired platelet function. We evaluated platelet aggregation and …

Hypercholesterolemia was induced in New Zealand white rabbits by feeding them a 0.5%
cholesterol-enriched rabbit chow for 2 wk. Half of the cholesterol-fed rabbits were given …

Under physiological conditions human blood platelets play a beneficial role in fibrinolysis
and regulate the balance with prostacyclin and other factors derived from the endothelium …

We have studied the effects of high plasma cholesterol levels on platelet-vessel wall
interactions under high shear rate conditions typical of the apex of stenotic arteries (2,600 …

The lipid composition of whole platelets and the fluidity of platelet membranes, as well as the
sensitivity of the cell to aggregation, were studied in type IIA hypercholesterolemic human …

We have studied platelet function in 10 patients with severe liver cirrhosis, compared to
healthy subjects. Using washed platelets, we have investigated the molecular mechanism …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate platelet membrane fluidity and some platelet metabolic parameters
in type II diabetic patients with macrovascular complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND …

Fluorescence spectroscopy, a very sensitive index for measuring the biophysical properties
of living cell systems, was used to examine the structural order of intact, resting, gel-filtered …

The effect of cholesterol-enrichment in platelet membranes on U46619 binding to the
specific receptor and phospholipase A2 and C activities was studied using cholesterol …

Aggregation of diluted whole blood (impedance method) and thromboxane B2 production
during aggregation were measured in cigarette smokers and non‐smokers, aged 41–68 …
