Figure Lengend Snippet: The mean of the platelet mapping TEG parameter within groups over time. This figure shows the mean values of platelet mapping TEG parameters in the clopidogrel (solid line) and placebo (dashed line) groups on Days 0 and 7. Parameters measured include inhibition (%) and aggregation (%) to assess platelet inhibition and aggregation, respectively, along with MA values attributed to thrombin, fibrin, and ADP (MA_thrombin, MA_fibrin, and MA_ADP), which reflect platelet function in response to different activation pathways. * p < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between results for days 0 and 7 within each group. TEG, thromboelastography; MA, maximum amplitude; ADP, adenosine diphosphate.
Article Snippet: Dogs in the clopidogrel group received 1 mg/kg p.o., q24h of 75-mg clopidogrel (Plavix Tablet; Alvogen Korea Co., Ltd., South Korea), which was ground into a powder, and the dose was calculated for each dog.
Techniques: Inhibition, Activation Assay
