138 Effect of some purine metabolites contained in oyster on platelet aggreation

Taurine, the main component of oyster, recovered the glucose tolerance in alloxan diabetic rats, and also have an important effect to V.B6 deficiency. In recent experiment, the action of many purine derivertives in oyster to platelet aggregation were studied. These substances, for example, adenosine, hypoxanthine and also 3-hydroxy anthranilic acid, the precursor of xanthurenic acid that is main product of tryptophan metabolism in V.B6 deficiency showed the same suppresive action to platelet aggregation.
