DM, which is accompanied by high levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF, IL-6) [29,30], promotes the attachment of leukocytes and platelets to the endothelial wall through the nuclear factor (NF) and endothelial cell adhesion molecules, resulting in some ideal conditions for thrombus formation [10,28,31]. This evidence concerns the gene NFASC and diabetes mellitus.
