    Relation between indices of end-organ damage and mean platelet volume in hypertensive patients
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2012) Bulur, Serkan; Onder, Halil Ibrahim; Aslantas, Yusuf; Ekinozu, Ismail; Kilic, Ali Cagri; Yalcin, Subhan; Bulur, Sule
    Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been recognized as an independent risk factor of hypertension. Hypertensive end-organ damage worsens the prognosis in hypertensive patients. We aimed to investigate the relationship between MPV levels and subclinical end-organ damage in hypertensive patients. One hundred and sixteen hypertensive patients (81 women, 35 men, with a mean age of 53 +/- 11) were included in the study. There was no correlation between MPV and left-ventricular mass index (LVMI) (r=0.145; P=0.14) or albuminuria (r=0.009; P=0.93). Among the individuals that had grade I and grade II retinopathy, MPV levels (8.3 +/- 2 fL, 8.2 +/- 1.3 fL; P=0.28) were similar either. We concluded that there was no correlation between MPV and markers of end-organ damage in hypertensive patients.

    The Relationship Between Mean Platelet Volume with Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Individuals
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2012) Kutlucan, Ali; Bulur, Serkan; Kır, Seher; Bulur, Şule; Önder, Elif; Aslantaş, Yusuf; Ekinözu, İsmail; Aydın, Yusuf; Özhan, Hakan
    The metabolic syndrome is closely associated with atherosclerotic risk factors and increased mortality. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of platelet activation which also shows a close relationship with cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlates of metabolic syndrome, its components and MPV adjusted for obesity in a large population study. A total of 2298 individuals with a mean age of 50 (age range 18-92) were interviewed. Nine hundred and twenty obese participants, who had BMI 30 kg/m(2) or more, further evaluated for the presence of metabolic syndrome. Five hundred and thirteen [396 women (70.2%)] had metabolic syndrome and the rest 407 individuals [324 women (79.6%)] served as the control group. The BMI, SBP, DBP, waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose, visceral fat, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and triglyceride was higher significantly in metabolic syndrome group (P=0.002 for BMI and P<0.001 for the others). No significant difference was observed between groups regarding low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, white blood cells, platelet counts, MPV, hematocrit and hemoglobin (P>0.05 for all). The presence of metabolic syndrome and its components do not constitute a difference in MPV values in obese patients with a BMI 30 kg/m(2) or more.
