  • Title: Microanalysis and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry of platelets in diseases with elevated muscle calcium.
    Author: Yarom R, Blatt J, Gorodetsky R, Robin GC.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Invest; 1980 Apr; 10(2 Pt 1):143-7. PubMed ID: 6780362.
    Abstract:
    Electron microscopic X-ray microanalysis and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry were done on platelets from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and idiopathic scoliosis (both these conditions are known to be associated with increased intramyofibre calcium). A significant increase in calcium and phosphorus concentrations was found in the dense granules and whole cells of both conditions. The findings suggest that idiopathic scoliosis like Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a multisystem disease with detectable changes in platelets.
