| Popis: | We hypothesized that different types of residential heating would be associated with different levels of indoor carbon monoxide (CO) and further that this might result in a differential in the concentration of cyclic 3′:5′ guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in blood platelets in exposed residents. Individuals, who were recruited from homes using different fuel for heating, donated a venous blood sample in the winter and in the summer. In the winter the median blood platelet cGMP value for the group using liquid propane gas (LPG) was 65% higher than for the group using piped natural gas for heating (p |
