Interactions of basophilic granulocytes and fat metabolism as indicators in thrombophilia.
In different groups of patients and blood donors with increased thrombophilic or arteriosclerotic risk we found some correlations between basophilic granulocyte values and lipid parameters. Basophilic granulocytes are one of the bodies own origin of sulfated mucopolysaccharides which protects endothelial cells and saves high density lipoprotein cholesterol, as we were able to find in blood donors.
