[Reversible endocytosis apparatus of the blood platelets].

The functioning of ganules of blood platelets participating in the reversible endocytosis reaction was investigated in rabbits. Eczocytosis was shown to be initiated by inducers of two types: proteolytic enzymes and compounds accumulated by the granules (biogenic amines, dyes, anesthetics and phenothiazines). Heparin inhibits thrombin-induced eczocytosis. During eczocytosis produced by accumulation of compounds by blood platelet granules, the cells lose their capacity for maintaining the aggregation state. The nature of blood platelet granules participating in the reversible endocytosis reaction is discussed.
