Does treatment of platelet concentrate with ultraviolet C light for pathogen reduction increases cytokine accumulation?
UVC treatment resulted in increased release from PLT alpha granules as evident by a higher cytokine release compared to nonirradiated and gamma-irradiated PCs. The clinical relevance of these findings needs to be further evaluated.
The subjects with less OL in their SPL had higher TCHOL and LDL serum levels and also their fatty acid SPL spectrum showed some other features which may be characterized as undesirable. This is an independent argument emphasizing the need for enhancing OL dietary intake.
