Dietary fat and platelet adhesiveness in arteriosclerosis and diabetes

Dietary Fats and Arterial Thrombosis

“…Moolten et al [83] observed that alimentary Iipemia was associated with increased platelet stickiness as measured by the glass wool braid technique [84]. They offered normal, atherosclerotic and diabetic volunteers a low-fat diet or a diet containing 36 g animal fat (cream and eggs) or maize oil.…”

Microvascular Breast Reconstruction in the Diabetic Patient

“…Flow abnormalities in erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and plasma proteins have been reported in diabetic patients. 3 An increase in blood and serum viscosity in diabetic patients has also been documented. 4,5 In general, the success rate of microvascular reconstructive plastic surgery in diabetic patients has not been well documented.…”

Platelet adhesiveness, plasma free fatty acids, and serum triglycerides in kwashiorkor

“…Increased platelet adhesiveness after high saturated fatty acid meals in normals and in patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease were reported by Moolten, Jenning, and Solden (1963). An increase in platelet adhesiveness during alimentary lipaemia was also shown by Philp and Wright (1965).…”
