The metabolism of exogenous citrate by freshly collected human platelets has been investigated by measuring the disappearance of citrate from platelet suspensions and by measuring the formation of C0 2 and glycogen from purified radioactive citrate. These studies indicate that platelets do not have the capacity to metabolize exogenous citrate.
