From: Platelet-neutrophil conjugate formation is increased in diabetic women with cardiovascular disease
(A) Summary of platelet-neutrophil conjugate reactivity to PAF for women in the study. Comparison of non-diabetic women without cardiovascular disease (NDW-CVD) versus non-diabetic women with cardiovascular disease (NDW+CVD) versus diabetic women without cardiovascular disease (DW-CVD) versus diabetic women with cardiovascular disease (DW+CVD). NDW+CVD and DW+CVD had significantly less stimulation ratio of platelet-neutrophil conjugates in comparison to DW-CVD (P < 0.05). (B) Summary of platelet-neutrophil conjugate reactivity to PAF for women and men in the study. Comparison of non-diabetic men with cardiovascular disease (NDM+CVD) versus non-diabetic women with cardiovascular disease (NDW+CVD) versus diabetic men with cardiovascular disease (DM+CVD) versus diabetic women with cardiovascular disease (DW+CVD). NDW+CVD and DW+CVD had significantly greater stimulation ratio of platelet-neutrophil conjugates in comparison to DM+CVD (P < 0.05).
