Abstract

Mean levels of beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 were highly significantly elevated in diabetes compared to controls (72.6 v. 36.3 ng/ml, P less than 0.0005; 48.5 v. 16.5 ng/ml, P less than 0.0005; respectively) as was malondialdehyde formation (12.4 v. 8.1 nmol/10(9) platelets, P less than 0.0005). Diabetes with retinopathy had significantly higher levels of beta-thromboglobulin than those without retinopathy (79 v. 70 ng/ml; P less than 0.042). However, those diabetics without clinical evidence of vascular disease had levels of beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 significantly higher than controls. beta-Thromboglobulin did not correlate with glycosylated haemoglobin but did correlate significantly with individual lipid and lipoprotein levels (beta-thromboglobulin v. total triglyceride, P less than 0.029; v. VLDL triglyceride, P less than 0.041; v. LDL cholesterol, P less than 0.042; v. HDL/total cholesterol ratio, P less than 0.02). Abnormal platelet function may contribute to the vascular complications of diabetes mellitus.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
