[Platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin (PGI2) in patients with juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus (author's transl)]. / Plättchensensitivität für Prostacyclin (PGI2) bei Patienten mit juvenilem Diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT

Platelet function (ADP-induced platelet aggregation) in 20 patients with juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus was not different from that of age- and sex-matched controls. Platelet sensitivity to exogenous PGI2 was not diminished in diabetic patients. No sex differences were detected. There was no correlation between concomitant blood glucose levels and platelet sensitivity to PGI2.
