title: [The relation between erythrocyte filterability and platelet aggregation (in vitro studies in normal subjects and those with vascular disease before and after isotonic exercise)].
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible action in vitro of the platelets on the rheological behavior of red blood cells in healthy subjects and in patients with peripheral obliterative arterial disease before and after an isotonic exercise. Red blood cells and platelets from control subjects and from patients were tested in several ratios before and after the exercise studying the erythrocyte filterability. beta-thromboglobulin, a platelet-specific protein, was determined in vivo in all subjects before and after the exercise and in vitro as percent of increase between PPP and PRP activated, to monitor the platelet release. The results showed the interrelationship between platelet activation and rheological behavior of red blood cells.
