Preservation of platelet integrity and responsiveness was examined in platelet concentrates prepared in the presence of various formulations and combinations of plateletactivation inhibitors affecting intracellular levels of cyclic 3-5’ adenosine monophosphate (CAMP). Platelet concentrates were prepared and stored in an artificial medium for two weeks at 22’C. Markers of metabolic activity (pH,...

The use of autologous platelet concentrates, represent a promising and innovator tools in the medicine and dentistry today. The goal is to accelerate hard and soft tissue healing. Among them, the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the main alternative for use in liquid form (injectable). These injectable form of platelet concentrates are often used in regenerative procedures and demonstrate good res...

An ultrasonic method to peptize soybean proteins from defatted, autoclaved and alcohol-washed flakes and commercial concentrates and isolates was studied. Extraction conditions were optimized by examining factors including sonic power, meal-to-water ratio, salt concentration, pH and sonic time. The present study reaffirmed the fact that sonication can disperse 80% of total proteins from autocal...
