The role of the leukocytes in the blood-vasal regulation of the blood circulation

The ability of N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-activated leukocytes to influence platelets and vessels was studied. It is shown, that of activation of leukocytes causes a vasoconstriction. The de-endothelialization of the vessels increased this effect. In addition, activated leukocytes increased the platelet aggregation. It was concluded, that activation of leukocytes can trigger thrombogenesis, angiospasm, microembolic syndrome and other disturbances of blood circulation.
