(a) Inhibition of ex vivo AA-induced aggregation of PRP by HC (% of inhibition, n=9). (b) The time taken (s) for mesenteric microvessel platelet plug formation and its inhibition by HC in mice (mean±s.e.m., n=10). *Significant difference vs placebo group (P<0.05), (c) effect of HC on tail bleeding time (s) was recorded (n=7). *Significant difference (P<0.05) when compared with placebo group. AA, arachidonic acid; HC, hydroxychavicol; PRP, platelet-rich plasma.
