Platelet volume, aggregation, and adenosine triphosphate release in cerebral thrombosis.

Mean Platelet Volume may be Reflects the Disease Activity of Ulcerative Colitis

“…Contrary to this, MPV increase in peripheral blood has direct proportion to platelet function (28). The increase in MPV, being related to the increase in the disease activity in some clinical states, was shown in various clinical situations such as preeclampsia, myocardial infarct and unstable angina pectoris (9,10,14).…”

The association between mean platelet volume levels and poststroke depression

“…Stroke is accompanied by changed platelet function, such as enhancement of platelet aggregation and activity (Grau et al, 1998; Tohgi, Suzuki, Tamura, & Kimura, 1991). As a marker of platelet function, Mean platelet volume (MPV) involves in platelet reactivity, including aggregation and release of platelet factor 4, thromboxane A2, as well as β‐thromboglobulin (Sharp et al, 1995).…”

A Study on Mean Platelet Volume in Acute Ischemic Stroke

“…(7) So we excluded diabetic patients in our study. Increase in platelet volume has been reported as a risk factor for acute myocardial infarction, (7,8,9,10) acute cerebral ischemia, (11,12) transient ischemic attacks, and for death or recurrent vascular events after myocardial infarction (13,14) . Higher levels of MPV in patients with acute ischemic stroke have been demonstrated than in control subjects.…”
