Tail amputation, bleeding time, amount of bleeding, PLT, HCT, PT, APTT, TT, FIB values in warfarin rats. Warfarin was given intragastrically (1.5 mg/kg) once daily for 3 consecutive days, with the last challenge was at 3 hours before the bleeding procedure. BPC 157 (10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg) was given immediately after any warfarin challenge, intragastrically while controls received simultaneously an equivolume of saline (5.0 ml/kg intragastrically). We applied L-NAME (5 mg/kg), L-arginine (100 mg/kg) alone or combined, intraperitoneally, at 30 minutes before amputation. Mean ± SD,

*P<0.05 at least vs. control.
