Summary

In a group of six normal male volunteers, infusion of DDAVP, venous occlusion and exercise were shown to increase plasma levels of factor VIII and plasminogen activator, activity and antigen, to different extents and at differing rates. Any mechanisms suggested to explain release of these proteins by various stimuli should account for such differences.

All three stimuli could also increase plasma levels of prostacyclin metabolites, although this was only significant for high doses of DDAVP. Other potential endothelial markers, such as fibronectin and thrombospondin, showed no specific increase after any of the stimuli.

Key Words
