Abstract We describe five monoclonal antibodies that react with four discrete antigens present on human platelets. Antibodies B2.12 and B59.2 precipitate the glycoprotein IIb‐IIIa complex from radiolabeled platelet membrane extracts inhibit aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), collagen, or epinephrine. The antigen recognized two is megakaryocytes but either absent entirely expressed in small amounts platelets Glanzmann's thrombasthenic patients. antibody B37.3 Antibody B1.12...

Abstract Background Consumption of a mixed meal increases postprandial carbohydrate utilization and decreases fat oxidation. On the other hand, acute endurance exercise oxidation during post-exercise recovery period. It is possible that resulting increase in circulating nonesterified fatty acids could attenuate ability ingested to inhibit lipid The purpose this study was determine whether prior attenuates usual meal-induced decline Methods Six healthy, physically active young subjects (x age...
