Modification of the phospholipids structure of platelets through the action of heparin

Abstract

In this paper the author studied the alterations which take place in the phospholipids of the platelets after incubation of the latter with heparin. It appears that this action is secondary to the activation of a plasmatic lipase.

At the same time some theorical specu­ lations are made to establish a possible union between the reduction of the aggre­ gation of platelets by heparin and this loss of phospolipids that it causes.
