Figure 5
Effect of oil extract on platelet rolling and firm adhesion on collagen under flow conditions. (a) Representative video image of oil extract on platelets rolling and firm adhesion: platelet rolling identified by blue circles and firm adhesion by red circles. (b) Oil extract (1 mg/mL) inhibited platelets rolling and firm adhesion on collagen. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM of . ***. We eliminated the background (yellow colored oil) with plugin that implemented ImageJ's (subtract background command) to avoid quenching phenomena for the yellow colored oil (the Amazonian oil).
