title: The content of coenzyme A, acetyl-CoA and long-chain acyl-CoA in human blood platelets.
abstract: The amounts of coenzyme A (CoASH) and acetyl-CoA in the acid-soluble extract of human blood platelets were quantitated by an isocratic reversed-phase liquid-chromatographic system. The analytical column was Supelcosil LC-18, and the solvent was 220 mmol/l potassium phosphate, pH 4.0, and 120 ml/l methanol. Long-chain acyl-CoA was estimated by the released coenzyme A after an alkaline hydrolysis of the acid-insoluble material of the blood platelets. The median values in platelets from fourteen healthy persons were 30 pmol CoASH/mg platelet protein, 45 pmol acetyl-CoA/mg platelet protein, and 34 pmol long-chain acyl-CoA/mg platelet protein.
