Abstract
Solcoseryl®(SOL) and Cardiocrome®(CAR) produced decreases in the partial oxygen pressure of platelet suspensions, indicating the acceleration of platelet oxygen consumption. However, the peak response to CAR was much faster than that to SOL. Application of 1 ml of SOL to 20 ml of platelet suspension stored for 1 day produced increases of 1 nmol ATP per min per 109 platelets. The same increases in oxygen consumption appeared after 3 or 5 day-storage.
