Effect of Onions on Blood Fibrinolytic Activity

I Sudhakaran Menon, R Y Kendal, H A Dewar, D J Newell
PMCID: PMC1991202  PMID: 5662989

Abstract

Twenty-two convalescent patients at rest were given a fat-enriched breakfast with and without the addition of 60 g. of fried or boiled onions. Both forms of onions were found to prevent the expected decrease in fibrinolytic activity, and indeed the latter was actually increased.
