Protective Mechanisms of S. lycopersicum Aqueous Fraction (Nucleosides and Flavonoids) on Platelet Activation and Thrombus Formation: In Vitro, Ex Vivo and In Vivo Studies
Figure 6
Effect of aqueous fraction on collagen-induced platelet adhesion and aggregation under arterial flow conditions. Citrate-anticoagulated blood was preincubated with saline or aqueous fraction (1 mg/mL) for 1 hour and then was perfused over plaque-coated surfaces for 10 min at room temperature at a shear rate of 1000 s−1. (a) Time lapse of 10 min at 1000 s−1, at 30 sec intervals, representative flow images at 40x, (b) the intensity (CTCF) over a time lapse, and (c) bar diagram (values are mean ± SEM; ). ***.
