Resumen de Platelet Stearic Acid in different population groups: biochemical and functional hypothesis
M Cocchi, L. Tonello, G. Lercker
As part of a complex work about the characterization of Coronary Heart Disease by platelet fatty acids using a Self Organizing Map (Artificial Neural Network), particular aspects of the stearic acid platelet concentration have been found.
The Authors look at the biochemical and functional aspects of Stearic on platelets, and, even in consideration of a considerable discrepancy in the levels of stearic acid in some groups of the subjects investigated, attempt a plausible interpretation. It is stressed the evidence, however, that the stearic acid is high in patients with ischemic heart disease.This, in the opinion of the authors, doesn�t necessary means that stearic acid is a negative finding in Coronary heart Disease.
