Platelet-activating factor biological roles

Platelet-activating factor or l-alkyl-2-acetyl- n-glycero-3-phosphocholine is an ether analog of phosphatidylcholine. This biologically active lipid is of great current interest. Initially, it was found to affect aggregation of platelets and to induce a hypertensive response at very low concentrations. Recent research has revealed its role as a mediator of inflammation and of other physiologic effects on many different types of cells. [Pg.934]
