LOW PHOSPHOLIPID VALUES IN DOG PLASMA

Low phospholipid arachidonic acid values in diabetic platelets.

Platelet aggregation is enhanced in diabetes mellitus, and platelets may be implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. Increased platelet aggregation is probably mediated by the production of the proaggregatory prostaglandin thromboxane, which is synthesised from arachidonic acid (C20:4) by the action of the platelet enzymes cyclo-oxygenase and thromboxane synthetase. The fatty acid...

Phospholipid Exchange Between Plasma and Erythrocytes in Man and the Dog CLAUDE

A B S T R A C r The turnover of the four major erythrocyte phospholipids has been studied with 32P, both in vivo and in vitro, in man and the dog. Phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine appeared to be stable erythrocyte lipids in both species. Turnover of the phosphate moiety of lecithin and sphingomyelin in the circulating erythrocytes of these two species seems entirely due to an e...

Phospholipid exchange between plasma and erythrocytes in man and the dog.

The turnover of the four major erythrocyte phospholipids has been studied with (32)P, both in vivo and in vitro, in man and the dog. Phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine appeared to be stable erythrocyte lipids in both species. Turnover of the phosphate moiety of lecithin and sphingomyelin in the circulating erythrocytes of these two species seems entirely due to an exchange of the...

Plasma membrane phospholipid asymmetry.

Plasma protein values in infants.

There are only a few reports in the literature dealing with the amount of plasma or serum protein during the neonatal period; nor is there agreement as to the normal amount of protein in children under one year of age. Several workers have stated that the serum of infants contains considerably less protein than that of adults and that there is a gradual increase in the concentration of the seru...
