Figure 5From: Antithrombin significantly influences platelet adhesion onto immobilized fibrinogen in an in-vitro system simulating low flowAnticoagulated blood (n = 8) was aliquoted and one aliquot was supplemented with AT (final activity 280%). Both aliquots were further perfused through rectangular flow chamber according to our experimental protocol. At low flow conditions (13 s-1) AT supplemented blood showed significantly lower platelet adhesion rate (65% of adhesion compared with non-supplemented blood, p < 0.05) between fifth and first minute.Back to article page
