Abstract

In this study the Authors verify the results of Picotamide on platelet aggregation in diabetic subjects. The results suggest that Picotamide has no influence on insulin or oral treatment of diabetic subjects. However, it is certain that platelet aggregation by ADP or collagen decreases due to the effect on thromboxane probably because of the limitation of platelet receptors.
