Mauritia flexuosa Presents In Vitro and In Vivo Antiplatelet and Antithrombotic Activities
Figure 7
Oil extract inhibits laser-induced thrombus formation in mesenteric artery of C57BL/6 mice. (a) Representative images of thrombus formation at baseline, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min after laser-injured vascular injury in mouse mesenteric artery. (b) Time course changes of thrombus growth rate among the control (DMSO 0.3%), ASA (acetylsalicylic acid), and oil extract for 60 min after laser irradiation. The graph depicts the means ± SEM of experiments. 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).
