EPA/DHA-treated whole blood produces less fibrin on collagen-coated surfaces under flow conditions. A: images of platelet deposition and fibrin formation at 5 and 7 min for vehicle- or EPA/DHA-treated whole blood. Fibrin is visible as wispy, nonkinked strands surrounding platelet aggregates; collagen fibers are frequently kinked and generally run between thrombi. B: Western blot (WB) of D-dimer (fibrin fragment) from lysates of thrombi formed in collagen-coated capillary tubes under shear.
