OBJECTIVE To determine whether obesity increases platelet reactivity and thrombin activity in patients with type 2 diabetes plus stable coronary artery disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We assessed platelet reactivity and markers of thrombin generation and activity in 193 patients from nine clinical sites of the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D). Blood taken at the time of enrollment was used for assay of the concentration of prothrombin fragment 1.2 (PT1.2, released when prothrombin is activated) and fibrinopeptide A (FPA, released when fibrinogen is cleaved). Platelet activation was identified with the use of flow cytometry in response to 0, 0.2, and 1 micromol/l adenosine diphosphate (ADP). RESULTS Concentrations of FPA, PT1.2, and platelet activation in the absence of agonist were low. Greater BMI was associated with higher platelet reactivity in response to 1 microm ADP as assessed by surface expression of P-selectin (r = 0.29, P < 0.0001) but not reflected by the binding of fibrinogen to activated glycoprotein IIb-IIIa. BMI was not associated with concentrations of FPA or PT1.2. Platelet reactivity correlated negatively with A1C (P < 0.04), was not related to the concentration of triglycerides in blood, and did not correlate with the concentration of C-reactive peptide. CONCLUSIONS Among patients enrolled in this substudy of BARI 2D, a greater BMI was associated with higher platelet reactivity at the time of enrollment. Our results suggest that obesity and insulin resistance that accompanies obesity may influence platelet reactivity in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Increased levels of platelet activation markers are positively associated with carotid wall thickness and other atherosclerotic risk factors in obese patients.

The role of platelets in the development of atherosclerosis and obesity-related prothrombotic state is still under investigation. In this cross-sectional cohort study, we measured the levels of different platelet activation markers and evaluated their relationship with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) along with other atherosclerotic risk factors in obese patients with or without atheroscle...

Plasma irisin is elevated in type 2 diabetes and is associated with increased E-selectin levels

BACKGROUND Irisin is a hormone released mainly from skeletal muscle after exercise which increases adipose tissue energy expenditure. Adipocytes can also release irisin after exercise, acting as a local adipokine to induce white adipose tissue to take on a brown adipose tissue-like phenotype, suggesting that irisin and its receptor may represent a novel molecular target for the treatment of obe...

Investigating the Relation between LCK Gene Expression with Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Yazd Diabetes Research Center

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and insulin secretory defect. Deficiency of cellular immunity is known as one of the factors involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM. lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase( LCK) is an important gene involved in the intracellular signaling pathways of lymphocytes. This study aimed at determining and comparing LCK gene expr...

Effects of improved metabolic control on platelet reactivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus following coronary angioplasty.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of improved metabolic control on platelet reactivity in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Twenty-two patients were randomised to intensive insulin or conventional treatment for diabetes. Platelet P-selectin expression was analysed before and three months after PCI. Metabolic control, as measured...

Platelet Function in Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased morbidity and mortality in micro-and macrovascular complications. The metabolic derangements that accompany diabetes can adversely influence platelets and vascular endothelial function, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. This thesis aimed to examine the effect of acute and postprandial h...
