title: [Plasma prostacyclin and thromboxane concentration in healthy children and in offspring of parents suffering from myocardial infarct].
abstract: 6-keto-prostaglandin F1a and thromboxane B2 were determined by radioimmunoassay in 135 healthy children, as a control group, and in 125 offsprings of parents suffering from premature coronary artery disease. Plasma prostacyclin concentration had decreased in children with a positive family history of coronary artery disease. It was demonstrated a strong reduction of thromboxane level in boys from age 11 in endangered group while the thromboxane/prostacyclin ratio did not differ from the control. It was supposed that in adolescent sons of parents who have had an acute myocardial infarction before the age of 45, a compensatory mechanism exists to protect them from disturbances in regulation of the balance between prostacyclin and thromboxane.
