The “normal” factor VIII concentration in plasma

Fainting induces an acute increase in the concentration of plasma factor VIII and von Willebrand factor.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES von Willebrand factor (VWF) is stored in the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells and may be released in response to different secretion stimuli such as stress, physical exercise, adrenaline, DDAVP and thrombin. DESIGN AND METHODS We found that fainting can also induce an acute increase in plasma VWF and factor FVIII (FVIII) concentrations, following observation...

The survival of factor VIII (antihemophilic globulin) and factor IX (plasma thromboplastin component) in normal humans.

Investigation of ANP Plasma Concentration in Normal Pregnancy and Preeclampsia

با وجود شواهد روزافزونی که بیانگر نقش احتمالی ANP در هموستاز طبیعی مایعات بدن است، اما هنوز اهمیت نقش این پیتید در سلامت و بیماری بدرستی مشخص نیست. بر اثر ازدیاد فشار دهلیزی و تعداد انقباضات آن، ANP از میوسیت های دهلیزی ترشح می شود. تزریق مقادیر زیادی از ANP صناعی به انسان و حیوان سبب کاهش فشار سیستمیک دهلیزی و افزایش دفع سدیم و برقراری دیورز می گردد. مطالعات اخیر بر روی تأثیر تزریق ANP صناعی ...

Possible effect of secretor locus on plasma concentration of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor.

A significant fraction (30%) of the genetically determined variance in plasma concentration of the von Willebrand factor antigen (vWf:Ag) has been shown to be related to ABH determinants. Individuals with blood group O, who have the highest amounts of blood group H substance, have the lowest concentration of vWf:Ag. The Lewis substances, Le(a) and Le(b), are biochemically closely related to the...

FACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY

Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...
