[Physiological variants of functional and biochemical indicators of thrombocytes].

The reported data of the latest 5-7 years point to a high reactivity of human and animal blood platelets depending on the physiological status (age, sex, season, time of the day, diet, physical and psychoemotional tension and so forth) and in disease (cardiovascular diseases, intoxication and others). In view of this fact platelets (in physiology and pathology) may serve as a highly sensitive and convenient test system not only for hemostatic blood potential estimation but also for the determination of physiological and pathological shifts in other systems of the body.
