[Comparative studies on release of enzymes from platelets during blood clotting in Rattus rattus flavitecus and Rattus norvegicus (author's transl)].
Increase of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.28) and creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) in serum and plasma level during blood clotting was compared in R. rattus flavitectus (black rat) and R. norvegicus (albino rat). Both the enzyme level increased by the release from platelets in process of clotting in rat as previously described (Emori T., Takahashi M. and Nagase S. (1978) Exp. Animals, 27, 167), but the change in black rat was very slight. Owing to search for the reason to prove the difference in this phenomenon, physiological and chemical properties of blood from both the animals were compared, and it was demonstrated that the content of plasma fibrinogen in black rat is higher than that in albino rat, while the platelet number contained in each ml of blood and the enzyme activities in each platelet are not different between them. The analysis of the membrane proteins from platelets of both the animals by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the fractional value of glycoproteins was found to be different between them.
