title: S-D-lactoylglutathione accumulation in activated human platelets.
abstract: 1. S-D-Lactoylglutathione accumulates in human platelets activated by agonists. Among the tested inducers thrombin is the most active. 2. The effect is dose and time-dependent. S-D-Lactoylglutathione, corresponding to depleted pool of reduced glutathione, can also be detected in platelets incubated with exogenous methylglyoxal. 3. A further significant increase was observed in platelets stimulated with thrombin in the presence of methylglyoxal. 4. No change in glyoxalase activities upon platelet stimulation with thrombin was shown.
