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.

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.

Hospital Practice, 1983
Our ability to chemically characterize and synthesize this autacoid of allergy and inflammation has given us a unique opportunity to study these important molecules in a highly disciplined fashion. It has also opened the door to a vista of research approaches to define PAF's normal physiologic role as well as its actions as an immunopathologic mediator.

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 asthma
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1988anaphylaxis. And if you research into the 1920s) there a very useful treatment in blocking both thrombocyare articles, particularly in the German literature, that topenia and some of the features of anaphylaxis. The report thrombocytopenia as being a feature of clinical first article (1924) stated that heparin totally prevents asthma.

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 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

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.
