Case histories confirm that negative reactions to eating apricot kernels can take place, but such reports are rare, and we have only suggestive evidence concerning what doses cause adverse effects.

Results of the APRICOT Study

Background. Successful coronary thrombolysis involves a risk for reocclusion that cannot be prevented by invasive strategies. Therefore, we studied the effects of three antithrombotic regimens on the angiographic and clinical courses after successful thrombolysis. Methods and Results. Patients treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy followed by intravenous heparin were eligible when a pat...

The Oxidase of the Apricot.

The flesh of fresh apricots when cut and exposed to the air rapidly develops a brown color due to enzymic oxidation. This phenomenon is of great importance in the freezing and freezing storage of fresh apricots and in the preparation of apricots for canning and drying. In commercial freezing the oxidizing enzymes of this fruit are controlled by treatment with dilute SO2 solution or by covering ...
