Abstract
Evidence is presented for the existence of platelet‐activating factor (PAF) in human amniotic fluid during labor by gas‐liquid chromatographic (GLC) and mass‐spectrometric (MS) analysis. The unique ether‐linked phospholipid was identified only in an amniotic fluid obtained from women during labor, and its alkyl side chain was composed exclusively of octadecyl residue.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
