Abstract

Washed mouse platelets produced thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 12-hydroxy 5, 8, 10, 14-Eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) in vitro from tritiated arachidonic acid. When diabetes was induced by injecting streptozotocin i.p 200 mg/kg the TXB2 production fell significantly and 12-HETE production significantly increased compared with that of control animals. Eighteen hours of food deprivation caused significant reductions in TXB2 and 12-HETE production in both the control and diabetic groups.
