title: Effect of cisplatin on lipid peroxidation in blood platelets.
abstract: Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) at the concentrations of 2-20 micrograms induces non-enzymatic peroxidation of pig platelet lipids. At low concentration (0.1 microgram) it inhibits the enzymatic thrombin-stimulated transformation of platelet endogenous arachidonic acid. This drug also reduces the activities of platelet enzymes: superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.
