Although the metabolism of glucose was enhanced during hold time, the differences between both hold time groups are not meaningful from a biological viewpoint. Therefore, an 8-hour hold time is feasible. PLT storage in PAS-IIIM results in a PLT in vitro quality superior to that of PLTs stored in PAS-II.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
