Platelet activating factor enhances in vitro fertilization of rabbit oocytes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1990 Capacitation of spermatozoa is essential for fertilization. Rabbit spermatozoa are particularly difficult to capacitate in vitro and require treatment with high-ionic-strength Brackett\u27s defined medium.

Identification of Platelet-Activating Factor Acetylhydrolase II in Human Skin [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2002 Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolases are a family of specialized phospholipase A2 enzymes. They serve an anti-inflammatory function by converting the proinflammatory autocoid, PAF, into biologically inactive lyso-PAF, by the removal of the sn-2 ...

Platelet-activating factor antagonists
Clinical Reviews in Allergy, 1995The great number of PAF antagonists reviewed in this article clearly shows the tremendous effort made in the last 20 yr to explore the complex biological background of the mechanism of action of PAF and the potential clinical benefit of its antagonists. It is obvious that now highly potent, long-acting, and perorally applicable PAF-receptor antagonists

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent mediator that occurs at very low concentrations in cells and tissues. Accurate quantitation of PAF has always been difficult because of the physicochemical properties of PAF and its structural similarity to several much more abundant phospholipids.

Radioimmunoassay for platelet‐activating factor
Lipids, 1991AbstractA radioimmunoassay (RIA) for measurement of platelet‐activating factor (PAF) was developed. At a final antiserum dilution of 1∶640, the lowest detection limit of PAF was 0.1 pmol (50 pg). The standard curve obtained was suitable for measurement of PAF in amounts ranging from 0.1 pmol to 30 pmol. The antiserum showed high specificity.

Platelet-activating factor receptor
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002Platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a biologically active phospholipid mediator. Although PAF was named for its potential to induce platelet aggregation, intense investigations have elucidated potent biological actions of PAF in a broad range of cell types and tissues.

Platelet-activating factor and the kidney
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1986Platelet-activating factor (PAF) represents a group of phospholipids with the basic structure of 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. A number of different cells are capable of producing PAF in response to various stimuli. The initial step of PAF formation is activation of phospholipase A2 in a calcium-dependent manner, yielding lyso-PAF ...

PLATELET-ACTIVATING FACTOR IN THE CNS
Progress in Neurobiology, 1996Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid synthesized in a variety of cells throughout the body. Platelet-activating factor has been identified in the CNS and has a number of diverse physiological and pathological functions. It has been shown to be a modulator of many CNS processes, ranging from long-term potentiation (LTP) to neuronal ...
