Abstract

Actual and potential fibrin-stabilizing factor (FSF) activity in the blood plasma of children in various are groups and in adults was estimated. Differences in blood plasma activities regarding desmofibrin formation were revealed, which depended upon the changes in enzyme concentration varying with age and upon the changes in thiol group concentration.
