(7) Alcohol appeared to have no influence on the development of platelet insufficiency which was rather correlated with the severity of the hepatopathy, the presence of splenomegaly (splenic sequestration), immunological factors, (presence of circulating antiplatelet antibodies) and "consumption" phenomena (significant incidence of circulating FDP, and indicator of chronic Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation).
(8) We postulated that the contraction by virtue of focal calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and was stimulated this process together with the processes of diffusion into the cytosol, binding to calmodulin and troponin, sequestration by the SR, and subsequent induction of Ca2+ release from the adjacent SR.
