THE EFFECT OF ETHINYL ESTRADIOL CONTAINING ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PILL ON THE HEMOSTATIC FUNCTION OF PLATELET OF WOMEN

Abstract

Hematological parameters are linked with health status and are important in the clinical evaluation of the state of health (Saliu et al 2012). It is known that some acute and chronic diseases adversely affect blood cells; this therefore makes the analysis of blood parameters very relevant in estimating alterations in human hematological system (Olson et al. 2000).Glucose is the most important monosaccharide in the body and monosaccharide is the final product of carbohydrate digestion. Glucose is the human body's key source of energy, through aerobic respiration, provides energy for cellular functions. Through glycolysis and later in the reactions of the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, glucose is oxidized to eventually form CO2 and water, yielding energy mostly in the form of ATP( Adenosine triphosphate ). The insulin reaction, and other mechanisms, regulates the concentration of glucose in the blood. Glucose is a primary source of energy for the brain, so its availability influences psychological processes. When glucose is low, psychological processes requiring mental effort (e.g., self-control, effortful decision-making) are impaired (fairclough 2003 and gailliot 2007). Optimium level of glucose in the blood is required for normal body function. Cases of hyperglycemia( i.e diabeties mellitus) has been reported to be a treat to the entire globe while hypoglycemia is a condition of reduced blood glucose concentration below the basal level poses also great threat to the body physiology. Therefore, studies on the blood glucose level and the hematological parameter gives important insight and information about the physiological status of individuals.
