Figure 5. Platelet function and clot rigidity as reflected by Maximum Amplitude (MA).

Figure 5

MA is the greatest amplitude of the TEG® tracing and reflects platelet function and absolute strength of the fibrin clot. The MA values were recorded with the TEG® 5000 Thrombelastograph® Hemostasis Analyzer System and compared between groups (means ± SEM, n = 5-8 animals/group).
