Popis: It is demonstrated that feeding cod-liver oil to rats leads to a considerable reduction in the formation of platelet T×A 2 and of vascular PGI 2 . No appreciable formation off T×A 3 and PGI 3 is observed, although arterial thrombosis is depressed and bleeding time is prolonged. These findings contradict the suggested role of prostaglandins of the 3-series in thromboregulation.
