Fig. 1 Comparative analysis of WBC, platelet count and vasodilatation evaluated by basal blood flow. (A) White blood cell count is higher among patients without PPL than in PPL users (p=0.025). (B) Platelet count mean comparison showed no difference between group without and with PPL (p=0.28). (C) Basal flow indicated more vasodilatation in non-PPL group (p=0.006).
