Some substances with proposed digitalis-like effects evaluated on platelet functions sensitive for cardiac glycosides
1. 1. The effects of progresterone, corticosterone 21-acetate, chlormadinone acetate, dehydroepi-androsterone 3-sulfate and lysophosphatidylcholine were tested on 86Rb-uptake, 3H-5-HT-uptake, ADP-induced aggregation and 5-HT-induced shape change in human platelets. Ouabain and digoxin were used for reference. 2. 2. Ouabain and digoxin 10-5 M inhibited 86Rb-uptake by more than 85%, and chlormadinon
