Platelet-related cytokines among normal body mass index, overweight, and obese Malaysians.

CONCLUSIONS: Higher MPV and sPsel levels in the obese participants than in the overweight and normal BMI participants indicated potentially higher activation of platelets in people with obesity. Moreover, we observed higher sCD40L levels in obese participants than in the overweight and normal BMI participants, suggesting a proinflammatory state in obese individuals.
