| Abstract | The benefits of intensive insulin therapy for type 2 diabetics with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly controversial. We performed in vitro studies to determine whether insulin has any effect on whole blood coagulation and assess how insulin responds to monocyte membrane associated tissue factor (mmaTF) induced hypercoagulability. Mercuric ion (Hg/sup 2+/), which has been shown to increase mmaTF-dependent procoagulant activity in whole blood, was used to stimulate similar pathways in our experiment. We spiked human citrated whole blood with HgCl/sub 2/ and Humulin-N/sup /spl reg// (HN) at final concentrations of control, 0.02 U/mL HN, 0.004 U/mL HN, 0.002 U/mL HN, 0.005% HgCl/sub 2/, 0.02 U/mL HN:0.005% HgCl/sub 2/, 0.004 U/mL HN:0.005% HgCl/sub 2/, and 0.002 U/mL HN:0.005% HgCl/sub 2/. The samples (n=12) were incubated at 37/spl deg/C for 10 minutes and recalcified with CaCl/sub 2/ to initiate clotting. The clotting time (CT) was measured with an Amelung KC4A Micro. The results indicate that HN by itself has no effect on CT. However, each concentration of HN:HgCl/sub 2/ exhibited a shorter CT than either HN or HgCl/sub 2/ alone (p<0.02 in each case). Studies with bovine pancreas insulin yielded similar results. This data indicates that insulin is stimulating mmaTF activity, and warrants the implementation of coagulation monitoring protocols for intensive insulin therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
