Aims The objective of this study was to investigate the role of plasma and platelet
microRNAs in the occurrence of ischemic stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods
miR-223, miR-146a, miR-495, and miR-107 expression in the plasma and platelets, blood
glucose concentration, and platelet activation rate were measured in patients with diabetes
mellitus and ischemic stroke, diabetes mellitus only, ischemic stroke only, and healthy
controls. Platelet activity was measured by flow cytometric measurement of P-selectin …
