Energy demand in human platelets is very high, to carry out their functions. As for most human cells, the aerobic metabolism represents the primary energy source in platelets, even though mitochondria are negligibly represented. Following the hypothesis that other structures could be involved in chemical energy production, in this work, we have investigated the functional expression of an extramitochondrial aerobic metabolism in platelets.

血小板中的线粒体外能量产生

人体血小板的能量需求非常高，以执行其功能。对于大多数人体细胞，有氧代谢代表了血小板的主要能量来源，尽管线粒体的代表可以忽略不计。根据其他结构可能参与化学能产生的假设，在这项工作中，我们研究了血小板中线粒体外有氧代谢的功能表达。
