Cyanide insensitive oxidase in platelets of newborn infant.
The authors studied the behaviour of neonate platelet O2 consumption after the addition of pyridine nucleotide compared to adult controls. O2 consumption of neonate platelets after NADH addition was 103,2 millimicronmol O2/10(9)/hr (SE = 24,74) and in adult controls 188,8 millimicronmol O2/10(9)/hr (SE = 36,46). After the addition of NADPH O2 consumption was, respectively, 233,5 millimicronmol (SE = 46,29) and 218,3 millimicronmol (SE = 30,01).
