FABP3 and Hypoglycemia: The mechanism by which hypoglycemia increases cardiovascular mortality may involve the following: (1) Hypoglycemia induces platelet hyperactivity through the elevation of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers [41]; the concentration of fatty acids, including 10-nonadecenoate, linolenate and dihomo-linoleate increase; and molecules contributing to cardiovascular complications, such as fatty-acid-binding protein-3, are also altered during hypoglycemia [42].
