Platelet Antiaggregation Activity Ex Vivo and Bleeding Time in Rats Subjected to Chronic Treatment with Pomace

		Platelet aggregation
Experiment	Bleeding time (min)	Lag time (sec)	Slope	Maximum aggregation (%)	Area under the curve
1 g/kg/day	4.5±0.7*,†	0.3±0.01	75±7	49±3*	270±58
0.1 g/kg/day	2.9±0.3*	0.4±0.1	82±2	51±2	277±27
Control	2.9±0.5†	0.3±0.1	88±9	58±5*	370±61

Wistar rats received, in addition to their normal diet, 1 g/kg or 0.1 g/kg pomace each day via nasogastric for 15 days; control group received the same volume (2 mL) of distilled water.
