Plasminogen content in diabetic wounds.
Plasminogen concentrations in secretions from distal wounds of 10 diabetic and 5 non-diabetic patients were determined spectrophotometrically. The plasminogen content in the secretions from the wounds was very low, only about 2% of the plasminogen content in plasma. There was no significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic wounds concerning plasminogen content.
