Abstract

The relationships between platelet aggregation and blood cell amount were studied in healthy subjects after fasting and after a standard carbohydrate breakfast. Positive relationships were revealed between certain parameters of platelet aggregation and the amounts of monocytes and eosinophils. Negative relationships were revealed between most parameters of platelet aggregation and the amount of platelets. Along with the well-known food leukocytosis and increased fibrinogen, postprandial conditions were characterized by an increase in certain parameters of platelet aggregation, destruction of the relationship between the fibrinogen concentration and platelet aggregation, impairment of the inverse relationship between the amount and aggregation of platelets, and moderate direct or inverse relationships between certain parameters of the first and the second stages of platelet aggregation and the erythrocyte parameters. As a disturbing factor, postprandial conditions activated platelet hemostasis by modulating the initial stages of aggregation and substantially changed the interrelations between blood cells.
