a Values represent the concentration of protascyclin necessary to
inhibit ADP induced platelet aggregation to 50%. Values are in units of PG in ng/ml
platelet rich plasma, means ± serum.
b Exposure to passive smoking occurred in a 18m3
room were 30 cigarettes were smoked to give a smoke concentration resembling that in
discos or restaurants. Subjects were exposed for 15 minutes. Blood was collected before
and at the end of the smoking period, as well as 20 and 60 minutes later.
c Values shown are calculated in the following way: Sensitivity
index of PGI2 were obtained from extrapolating values in Figures 3
and 4 in reference. From these figures, we estimated that the sensitivity index were 0.62,
0.48, 0.30, 0.32, 0.80, 0.55, 0.53, 0.49 (values are presented in the order under 'Before'
and 'After' columns, for each of the 4 rows). Since sensitivity index equals 1/ID50, where ID50 is the concentration of PGI2 necessary to inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation to 50 percent, ID50 was calculated is 1/sensitivity index (e.g., 1/0.62=1.61).
d Active smoking experiment: Fourteen healthy males smoked two
cigarettes within 10 minutes. Blood specimen were collected immediately before and 15
minutes after smoking.
e Passive smoking experiment: Twenty-two health males were
exposed for 20 minutes in an 18 m2 room in which 30 cigarettes were
smoked. Blood specimen was collected immediately before and 15 minutes after passive
smoking period.
