title: [Effect of vitamin E on the function of blood platelets in patients with diabetes mellitus].
abstract: An effect of vitamin E on blood platelets functioning was studied in 39 patients with diabetes mellitus type 1. Control group included 20 healthy blood donors. Vitamin E in a daily dose of 1000 mg produced statistically significant decrease in platelets aggregation, number of circulating platelet aggregates and release of the platelet factory 4 in diabetics after 7 days of treatment. No adverse reactions were seen in any patient treated with vitamin E. The obtained results indicate that vitamin E inhibits increased platelets activity in the patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and does not exert toxic reactions during the treatment.
