[Interaction of epinephrine and ADP in regulation of platelet function in chronic cerebral ischemia ].

The purpose is devoted to test of hypothesis that patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) have decreased secretion of platelet ADP as the reason of platelet aggregation restriction in response to stimulation of adrenaline. Methods. We used platelet-rich plasma which was separated by centrifugation from peripheral blood of 55 patients with a diagnosis of CCI of stage 1-2.

[Interaction of the Humoral Agonist During the Platelets Activation in Patients with Chronic Cerebral Ischemia].

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the standard drug therapy of 95 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) on the functional status of platelets as possible participants of microcirculation of the brain.

Methods: Platelets were isolated from peripheral blood by centrifugation and examined at 24 hours after initiation of standard medical therapy including aspirin (100 mg). The cells were stimulated in vitro using adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, platelet activating factor (PAF) and serotonin in an effective concentration (EC50) inducing in healthy individuals platelet aggregation in the range of 50 ± 5%.
