Adsorptive Properties

Morphological and cytochemical studies of platelets have reported a surface coat, or glycocalyx, external to the plasma membrane (1). Biochemical analyses have likewise confirmed the highly adsorptive properties of platelets as transporters of coagulation factors (2). However, visualization of the platelet membrane by conventional EM procedures does not reflect this special relationship between the platelet and its plasma environment. By the routine method of alcohol-propylene oxide dehydration for Epon embedding, the lipid bilayer nature of the platelet membrane appears similar to other blood cells (Fig. 1). A new rapid embedding technique using dimethoxypropane (DMP) as dehydrating agent (13) has permitted ultrastructural analyses of the surface features of the platelet-plasma interface.Aliquots of human or rabbit platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were added to equal volumes of 6% glutaraldehyde in Millonig's buffer at 37° for 45 minutes, rinsed in buffer and postfixed in 1% osmium in Millonig's buffer for 45 minutes.

Biochemical Analyses

Thirty-three mature male Holtzman rats were randomly placed in 3 treatment groups: Controls (C); Ethanolics (E); and Wine drinkers (W). The animals were fed synthetic diets (Lieber type) with ethanol or wine substituted isocalorically for carbohydrates in the diet of E and W groups, respectively. W received a volume of wine which provided the same gram quantity of alcohol consumed by E. The animals were sacrificed by decapitation after 6 weeks and the livers processed for quantitative triglycerides (T3), proteins, malic enzyme activity (MEA), light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM). Morphometric analysis of randomly selected LM and EM micrographs was performed to determine organellar changes in centrilobular (CV) and periportal (PV) regions of the liver. This analysis (Table 1) showed that hepatocytes from E were larger than those in C and W groups. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum decreased in E and increased in W compared to C values.
