چکیده

AIM Platelets play a pivotal role in atherothrombotic diseases. Platelet aggregability induced by agonists has great interindividual variability; however, the factors influencing platelet aggregability variation have not been characterized in Asia. METHODS To examine the confounding factors influencing platelet counts and responsiveness to agonists, we measured the platelet counts and platelet aggregability induced by 1.7 µM adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or 1.7 µg/mL collagen using a light transmittance aggregometer in the Japanese general population without medication or cardiovascular disease (387 men and 550 women) in the Suita Study. RESULTS Platelet counts were negatively correlated with age in both men and women (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient: r(s)=-0.230 and -0.227; p< 0.01, respectively). In women, platelet counts were correlated negatively with the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level and positively with the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol/HDL cholesterol (L/H) ratio (r(s)=-0.135 and 0.119; p< 0.01, respectively). In women, platelet aggregabilities by ADP and collagen were correlated with age (r(s)=0.118 and 0.143; p< 0.01, respectively), and collagen-induced platelet aggregability was correlated with the LDL cholesterol level, the L/H ratio, and the non-HDL cholesterol level (r(s)=0.167, 0.172, and 0.185; p< 0.01, respectively). Even after adjustment for age, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and current smoking and drinking, the association of platelet counts with the L/H ratio in women and associations of collagen-induced platelet aggregability with the L/H ratio and the non-HDL cholesterol level remained. CONCLUSION Examination of platelet counts and platelet aggregability induced by ADP and collagen revealed gender, age and lipid levels as factors influencing inter-individual variability.

Acute nicotine treatment accelerates photochemically induced platelet aggregation in cerebral arterioles of mice: an in vivo study

When tobacco is smoked, chewed or snuffed, nicotine is absorbed by the lungs or mucous membrane and quickly moved into the bloodstream, where it is circulated throughout the brain. In fact nicotine is highly dangerous to be consumed in any form. The present study was conducted to know the adverse effects of nicotine on the platelet aggregation in cerebral microvessels of mice. Male mice of aver...

Platelet count and MPV, routinely measured but ignored parameters used in conjunction with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome: single study center in Iranian population, 2010

 Background: Myocardial infarction is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Platelet count and the mean platelet volume (MPV), a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size which correlates with platelet activation, might associate with troponin in acute chest pain. Methods: We analyzed MPV of 851 patients who were admitted to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital with ac...
