The Role of Glutamine in the Prevention of Ultraviolet-C-Induced Platelet Activation
Figure 2
Glutamine does not impair the physiological functions of platelets: washed platelets stimulated with 0.5 U/ml of thrombin for [Ca2+]i measurement (mouse platelets-A) (a). The presence of 50 mM glutamine showed an intact calcium signal. Histogram (A1) represents mean ± SD from four experiments. Aggregation (mouse platelets-B) (b) was also unaffected in the presence of a high dose of glutamine. Histogram B1 represents mean ± SD from four experiments (color scheme of Figure B1 is depicted in Figure B).
