Platelet, Fatty Acids, Membrane Viscosity, Depression and Ischemic Heart Disease - Biological-Molecular Path, with Medical-Anthropology Insights

“…The parameters, the depression symptoms such as fatigue, the lack of interest in activities, the increase or loss of appetite, the psychomotor retardation or agitation, concentration disorders, low self-esteem, a depressed mood, and recurrent suicide attempts, can themselves be the precursors to CHD. Vast as well as exhaustive scientific research has been performed on the relationship between depression and ischemic cardiovascular disease (16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28), and it has also dealt with the study of the fatty acids evaluated in several biohumoral fractions of the human organism (plasma phospholipids, cholesterol esters, erythrocytes, etc.) in order to identify the involvement of the different acidic components, in particular the saturated ones, on the determinism of the atherogenetic phenomenon and of those aspects of hemocoagulation that induce a thrombogenetic risk (29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40).…”
