Platelet glycolysis in platelet storage. III. The inability of platelets to utilize exogenous citrate.
The metabolism of exogenous citrate by freshly collected human platelets has been investigated by measuring the disappearance of citrate from platelet suspensions and by measuring the formation of CO2 and glycogen from purified radioactive citrate. These studies indicate that platelets do not have the capacity to metabolize exogenous citrate.
