Table 2. Comparison of Platelets Function Studies Between Non-obese and Obese Subjects.

Comparison was done by Student t-test

AUC: area under the curve; DA: disaggregation; FA: final aggregation; LP: lag phase; MA: maximum aggregation; PA: primary aggregation; PS: primary slope; SD: standard deviation

Variables Group 1 (non-obese) (mean ± SD) Group 2 (Obese) (mean ± SD) P-Value
PA (%) (initial aggregation In the biphasic pattern) 59.38 ± 12.623 56.33 ± 15.618 0.365
PS (%) (initial or only slope) 32.86 ± 6.044 30.76 ± 7.835 0.338
AUC (% per min.) 342 ± 146.687 339.33 ± 191.547 0.960
LP (%) (time between injection of reagent and initiation of aggregation) 2.43 ± 6.193 0.81 ± 3.71 0.310
DA (%) (measurement after maximum aggregation occurs where aggregates break up and disaggregate) 0.14 ± 0.655 1.24 ± 3.33 0.147
MA (%) 59.38 ± 12.623 56.33 ± 15.618 0.491
FA (%) 57.76 ± 12.621 53.67 ± 16.865 0.3781
