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 ...

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 and Platelet-Activating Factor Antagonists in Acute Pancreatitis
Digestive Surgery, 1999<i>Introduction:</i> Acute pancreatitis causes platelet-activating factor (PAF) to be released which induces systemic effects that contribute to circulatory disturbances and multiple organ failure. PAF has also been implicated as a key mediator in the progression of severe acute pancreatitis, which can lead to complications and unacceptably

Research leading to the discovery of platelet-activating factor (PAF) came from studying a reaction that triggered platelets to release histamine. It was attributed to a factor actively released from leukocytes. Platelet-activating factor was first identified by Benveniste et al. in 1972.1 Later it was recognized that this phospholipid mediator is also

Seminal Platelet-Activating Factor
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2007Platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1-O-alkyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) is a potent signaling phospholipid with pleiotropic biologic activities. Since its discovery more than 30 years ago, numerous investigators have documented its presence in a variety of tissues.

Association of platelet-activating factor with primary acquired cold urticaria.
New England Journal of Medicine, 1985We investigated the possibility that the inflammatory reaction in primary acquired cold urticaria might be associated with the release of platelet-activating factor.

Platelet-Activating Factor Antagonists
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1987Over the past decade platelet-activating factor has achieved the status of an important inflammatory mediator. The scientific enthusiasm and number of research investigators, publications, and meetings recently devoted to PAF suggest that this mediator will be the subject of continued study in the foreseeable future.

Resume Il existe dans les basophiles et les mastocytes de nombreuses especes de mammiferes un facteur agregeant les plaquettes qui represente par consequent un lien entre la pathologie liee a la degranulation des basophiles/mastocytes, c'est-a-dire l'hypersensibilite immediate, et les plaquettes sanguines.
