The Role of Glutamine in the Prevention of Ultraviolet-C-Induced Platelet Activation

Figure 1

The glutamine toxicity effect was studied using CCK-8 kit (mouse platelets-A (a); n = 4). The presence of glutamine was not toxic to platelets; however, viability was reduced to 50% with UV-C exposure. . For control purposes, lysis buffer (LB) was used. The result expressed is means with standard deviation. The release reaction of dense granule was assessed by measuring ATP secretion using the luciferase assay. Mouse platelets-B (b). The histogram represents mean ± SD from five experiments. , measured by the t-test.
