Ethanol and platelet intracellular free calcium concentrations. 1987

K R Lees, and S M Barr, and L Butters, and P C Rubin

The effect of 0.8 g kg-1 absolute ethanol orally on platelet intracellular free calcium was assessed in a random order study in 24 normotensive subjects with an isocaloric control. Platelet calcium was measured 90 min and 12 h after treatment by the Quin 2 method. The study had 90% power of detecting a 16.5% change. After 90 min, breath ethanol was 37 +/- 9 micrograms 100 ml-1, blood pressure was unchanged and heart rate rose slightly. Platelet calcium was unchanged by ethanol after 90 min or 12 h.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
