Because of complexities in platelet serotonin uptake dynamics, we studied the influence of the time of day and year as well as the subject's age on uptake parameters. While the assay itself was quite reproducible, and the kinetic parameters of 5 HT uptake were stable over a few days, at a given time, within an individual, the variance was quite large when samples from different times of the day or year or from different individuals were compared. An inverse relationship betweenVmax(moles/cell number/time) and platelet number was found in data from a group of individuals, suggesting regulation ofVmaxnot at the level of uptake capacity per cell, but in a manner that somehow takes into consideration the number of platelets in the subject's plasma. Indeed, expressingVmaxin a new way (called “totalVmax”), not based onVmax“per cell” or “per 107cells” but for the total number of platelets in the volume of PRP used, greatly reduced the scatter in the between-individuals and across-time data. WhileVmax(moles/cell number/time) exhibited only a trend toward reduction with age, for example, the decline in totalVmaxwith subject age was statistically significant. It is suggested that totalVmax(moles/time) may be a more physiologically relevant expression for an uptake function thanVmax(moles/time/cell number).
