Amyloid, Clopidogrel Resistance, Diabetes, Insulin Resistance
Conditions
Brief summary
Increased circulating b-amyloid and decreased Mitochondrial-derived peptide (MOTS-c), a peptide improving tissue insulin sensitivity, are reported in diabetes. The investigators plan to investigate the association of both biofactors with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity and cardiovascular mortality in type 2 diabetic patients with Coronary artery disease
Detailed description
In type II diabetic patients with Coronary artery disease treated with clopidogrel and aspirin, the investigators plan to measure: i. maximum platelet aggregation to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) by Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTAmax), as a marker of on-clopidogrel treatment platelet reactivity ii. Malondialdehyde (MDA), as oxidative stress marker, Mitochondrial-derived peptide MOTS-c and b-amyloid. blood levels.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease, documented by coronary angiography, * both per os or/and parenteral antidiabetic medications and double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), constituted by a daily dose of 100 mg acetylsalicylic acid per os and a daily dose of 75 mg clopidogrel per os should be prescribed to the patients for at least one month before inclusion in the study
Exclusion criteria
* abnormal renal function (creatinine\> 2.5 mg / dl), * hepatic failure (bilirubin\> 2 mg / dl), * active malignancy, * patients treated with drugs that affect platelet function, besides aspirin 100 mg qd and clopidogrel 75 mg qd, * patients with a history of hemorrhagic mood, * patients with thrombocytopenia (PLTs \< 100x109 / L) and * anemia (HCT \<28%).
