Platelet taurine uptake in spinocerebellar degeneration.
The uptake of 14C-taurine was studied in the platelets of 20 ataxic patients and 20 age-matched normal control subjects. No significant differences were found in uptake or kinetics of taurine between the two groups of subjects. If a transport defect in taurine exists in Friedreich's ataxia, it is not present in all tissues. Preliminary indication was obtained in favor of heterogenity of the upt...
متن کاملPlatelet taurine content in Friedreich's disease.
We have studied the concentrations of taurine and of 6 other amino acids in platelets from 12 patients with Friedreich's disease and 12 age sex-matched normal control subjects. No significant differences could be demonstrated between the two groups. The glycine/serine ratio was lower in all the patients but this change did not reach statistical significance. From these and other data, we conclu...
متن کاملTaurine modulates platelet aggregation in cats and humans.
To explore the relationship between whole-body taurine status and function, the taurine concentration in plasma and platelets was measured and evaluated in terms of ex vivo collagen-induced platelet aggregation in taurine-depleted cats and taurine-supplemented humans. Taurine status exerted a significant effect on platelet aggregability. Platelets from taurine-depleted cats were twice as sensit...
متن کاملThe Synergistic Effect of Taurine and Caffeine on Platelet Activity and Hemostatic Function
Several studies have shown the deleterious effects of energy drinks, containing taurine and caffeine, on cardiac health. This study aimed to examine synergistic effect of taurine and caffeine on p latelets and haemostasis because platelet hyperactivity is a known predictor of cardiovascular diseases. Blood from twelve healthy volunteers aged 18 – 60 years was incubated with 500 μM taurine and 7...
متن کاملFlow Cytometric Measurement of CD41/CD61, CD42b Platelet Receptors and Platelet Factor 3 Activity in Lyophilized Infusible Platelet Membrane Preparation
Background: The short life time of human platelet units has led to a chronic shortage of fresh platelets in blood transfusion centers. Many approaches have been investigated experimentally to produce new hemostatically active platelet products that are capable of long term storage. Infusible platelet membrane (IPM) prepared from fresh or outdated human platelets have been developed as an altern...
