May heighten postprandial CV risk in T2D; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.
Does food intake enhance thromboxane receptor-mediated platelet activation in type 2 diabetic patients compared to healthy subjects?
Food intake increases thromboxane-mediated platelet activation in type 2 diabetics, highlighting a potential mechanism for postprandial cardiovascular risk in this population.
