Platelet-activating factor: a phospholipid autacoid with diverse actions
Open accessAbstract
is a potent biological mediator that exerts its effects in a variety of cells and tissues (1-3). This phospholipid mediator was discovered during concurrent investigations of a factor derived from the blood of rabbits undergoing anaphylaxis that activated platelets, and an endogenous polar lipid from kidney that lowered blood pressure. When the common structures were elucidate,d, a new field of research had emerged (reviewed in 1, 2 by the leaders of the two groups that determined the structure). The trivial name,.PAF, is a misnomer as it describes only one of the compound’s many effects. This name, however, has been retained due to the lack of a suitable alternative. Other acronyms that include structural information, e.g., AGEPC (alkyl glycerol ether phosphoryl choline) and PAFacether, have been proposed as

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
