Arachidonic acid uptake activity was measured in platelets obtained from 27 Type 2 diabetic patients and 18 age-matched control subjects. In both groups after 1 h incubation almost all the incorporated 14C-arachidonic acid was located in the phospholipids of the platelets. Arachidonic acid was predo

## Enhanced platelet functions have been reported in patients with diabetes mellitus. Our recent study demonstrated that phosphoinositide turnover is increased in platelets from diabetic patients. In the present study, we evaluated the abnormality in platelet intracellular calcium mobilization in
The role of epinephrine in platelet activation and the effect of an alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist, midaglizole, during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were examined. The action of midaglizole as a platelet alpha 2-antagonist was confirmed by in vit
The mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus are not fully understood. An enhanced lipid/non-esterified fatty acid oxidation could provide an explanation. To test this hypothesis we examined the relationship between glucose and lipid metabolism in
## Is a low insulin response to intravenous glucose an marker of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes? Dear Sir, Recently B. Vialettes et al. published the results of a study to determine the value of low acute insulin response to intravenous glucose as a marker of early stages of Type i (insulin-d
