1. Each of nine volunteers was fed three different diets. The percentage of total daily energy provided by fat, carbohydrate and protein remained constant, but the nature of the fat and carbohydrate was altered. The first diet contained ordinary amounts of sucrose and predominantly saturated fat. During the second dietary period, fat remained saturated, but the quantity of sucrose was increased at the expense of complex carbohydrate. In the third dietary period, the sucrose intake remained high, but fat was supplied chiefly in the polyunsaturated form. 2. A small but statistically significant increase of serum fasting cholesterol and triglyceride was observed during the second dietary period, but on the third diet levels of both lipids fell to concentrations not significantly different from those seen on the first diet.

SummaryTo determine whether the long-term feeding of dietary fats affect platelet functions in man, platelet aggregation (to thrombin ADP, collagen, epinephrine) and clotting activity of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-poor plasma and of washed platelets, were studied in a mobile-laboratory in 44 healthy male farmers (40-45 years) from two French regions Var and Moselle, in relation to lipemia, glycemia, dietary nutriments, and platelet phospholipid composition. In the Moselle subjects, the platelet clotting activity of PRP and of washed platelets, the platelet aggregation to thrombin and ADP, were highly significantly (p <0.001) increased as compared to those of Var, but not the plasma cholesterol, which was identical in the two regions.In Moselle, the intake of total calories, total lipids and saturated fats was higher than in the Var.However, it was only with the saturated fat intake (mostly stearic acid) that the platelet clotting activity (p <0.01) and the platelet aggregation (p <0.001) were highly significantly correlated. The platelet clotting activity was also significantly (p <0.001) correlated with the fatty acid composition of the platelet phospholipid fractions phosphatidyl serine + phosphatidyl inositol.

SummaryPlatelets tests, acute phase reactants and serum lipids were measured in patients with diabetes mellitus and patients with peripheral vascular disease. Patients frequently had abnormal platelet tests and significantly increased acute phase reactants and serum lipids, compared to young healthy control subjects. These differences were compared with multidiscriminant analysis. Patients could be separated in part from the control subjects with variables derived from the measurement of acute phase proteins and serum lipids. Platelet test results improved the separation between diabetics and control subjects, but not between patients with peripheral vascular disease and control subjects. Diabetic patients with severe retinopathy frequently had evidence of platelet activation. They also had increased acute phase reactants and serum lipids compared to diabetics with absent or nonproliferative retinopathy. In patients with peripheral vascular disease, only the fibrinogen concentration was related to the degree of vessel damage by arteriography.
