The optimal conditions for the incorporation of acetate-1-14C and palmitic acid-1-14C into platelet lipids have been described. In buffer incubations with acetate there was a sharp pH optimum at 6.8; in plasma incubations, there was a broad pH optimum between 6.8-7.4. Maximal incorporation of acetate occurred at a final concentration of 1.5 mmoles/liter. In buffer, no labeled lipids were released from platelets into the medium. In plasma, 40% of newly formed lipids was recovered in the plasma. 75% of the incorporated acetate could be recovered in ceramide, lecithin, and free fatty acids. Platelet fatty acids were formed both by de novo synthesis and chain elongation. The fatty acids formed by de novo synthesis exchanged with plasma free fatty acids. In buffer incubations no turnover of newly labeled lipids occurred, but in the plasma incubations exchange of newly labeled lecithin with plasma lipids was demonstrable. Palmitic acid-1-14C added to plasma was incorporated into platelet lipids. The distribution among the lipid classes of palmitate taken up from plasma was the same as that of palmitate formed intracellularly by de novo synthesis.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
