  • Title: Venostasis but not DDAVP infusion provokes the plasma fibronectin increase.
    Author: Letowska M, Bykowska K, Sablinski J, Lopaciuk S, Kopeć M.
    Journal: Thromb Haemost; 1990 Oct 22; 64(2):294-6. PubMed ID: 2270537.
    Abstract:
    Plasma fibronectin (pFN), von Willebrand factor antigen (vWf:Ag), factor VIII procoagulant activity, fibrinogen, euglobulin lysis time (ELT) and hematocrit were determined in healthy blood donors before and after venostasis as well as after intravenous infusion of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP). Both venostasis and DDAVP provoked an increase in vWf:Ag and shortening in the ELT. In contrast, venostasis only but not DDAVP induced an increase in pFN levels which was statistically significant with and without correction for a concomitant hematocrit increment. The results indicate that there is a distinct difference in the patterns of venostasis and DDAVP mediated release of proteins from the vessel wall.
