Why the study?
Does glycosylated albumin enhance arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in vitro?
Does glycosylated albumin enhance arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in vitro?
Glycosylated albumin, at levels consistent with poorly controlled diabetes, significantly enhances platelet aggregation in vitro, providing a potential mechanism for diabetic prothrombotic states.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Glycosylated albumin may enhance platelet aggregation in hyperglycemia; hypothesis-generating for diabetic thrombogenicity and requires human validation.
Doweiko et al. (1994) studied this question.
