Electronic paramagnetic resonance was used to study the structural and functional properties of platelets from patients with coronary heart disease. It was established with the use of the spin probe 5-doxylstearate that cytoplasmic platelet membranes of coronary heart disease patients are marked by a higher molecular packing as compared to normal. The rate of platelet aggregation studied independently of plasma factors appeared also higher, with a direct correlation being discovered between the aggregation properties and viscosity of platelet membranes. Such a modification of the physical and functional properties might be accounted for by cholesterol accumulation which is evidenced by an increase in the molar content of cholesterol in the cells. It is suggested that platelets from coronary heart disease patients, which have more rigid membranes, have a greater ability to adhere to other, particularly to endothelial cells, thereby giving rise to the atherosclerosis of the vascular wall.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet

D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels. Coronary Heart Disease,Coronary Diseases,Coronary Heart Diseases,Disease, Coronary,Disease, Coronary Heart,Diseases, Coronary,Diseases, Coronary Heart,Heart Disease, Coronary,Heart Diseases, Coronary

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
