title: Comparison of the inhibition of the cytosolic phospholipase A2-mediated arachidonic acid release by several indole-2-carboxylic acids and 3-(pyrrol-2-yl)propionic acids in bovine and in human platelets.
abstract: The inhibition of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2)-mediated arachidonic acid release by several indole-2-carboxylic acids and 3-(pyrrol-2-yl)propionic acids was measured in intact human platelets using calcium ionophore A23187 as stimulant. The comparison of the obtained data with the inhibition data evaluated with bovine platelets showed that analogous results were obtained with both cell types.
