Platelet aggregation induced by thrombin (A),
arachidonic acid (B), and ADP (C). Rats
were given vehicle, ticlopidine (300 mg/kg), or aspirin (30
mg/kg) orally each day for 7 days. Three hours after the final
dose, platelet-rich plasma was prepared and platelet aggregation in
response to the three agonists was assessed. *,
