Inhibition of platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma

Blood samples were freshly collected into 1/10 volume of 3.8% trisodium citrate solution. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared by centrifugation of blood samples at 150g for 10 min at room temperature. Platelet aggregation induced by 10 μM ADP was monitored at 37°C with an aggregometer in the presence or absence of test compound. Each value is the mean ± S.E.M.; n = 4.
