title: Phospholipids metabolism in platelets stimulated with collagen.
abstract: Collagen addition to platelets suspended in Calcium-free medium induces slow shape change followed by fast aggregates formation. Time courses of membrane phospholipids metabolism and arachidonic acid oxidative metabolism indicate that phospholipase C is the immediate target of the stimulus, and subsequently phospholipase A-2 is activated by synergistic action of released calcium and protein kinase C.
