[Postnatal development of rat thrombocytes: the volume distribution and electrophoretic mobility or rat thrombocytes during the first month of life (author's transl)].
The volume distribution curves of rat thrombocytes show a significant rise of the modal volume between days 5 and 8 after birth. No clear evidence for two distinct thrombocyte populations was obtained by computer analysis of the volume distribution curves. However, the increase of the modal volume of the platelets correlates with the production of a new erythrocyte population. In addition, the platelet concentration in the blood increases significantly during this time. These changes could indicate the production of a second thrombocyte population. The mean electrophoretic mobility of rat thrombocytes decreases only slightly during the first 3 weeks after birth, while it increases for erythrocytes significantly during the same period.
