| ME | 10 | NT | 102.67 ± 31.08 |
| 100 | 31.33 ± 0.67a, b | 55.67 ± 8.95 | |
| HF | 10 | NT | 115.00 ± 26.50 |
| 100 | 42.00 ± 2.31a, b | 64.00 ± 25.53 | |
| MF | 10 | NT | 98.33 ± 36.84 |
| 100 | 30.33 ± 3.84a, b | 42.67 ± 2.40a | |
| Normal saline | 54.00 ± 2.18 | 48.67 ± 5.20 | |
| Control | 52.00 ± 0.58 | 89.33 ± 9.39 |
a, bP < 0.05 compared to Control and normal saline respectively (ANOVA; LSD post hoc); Values of bleeding and coagulation time shown are Mean ± SEM (n = 3); ME = Methanol extract; HF = n-Hexane fraction; MF = Methanol fraction; NT = Not tested.
