(a) Effect of lycopene on adenosine-5’-diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation. *P < 0.01 versus vehicle, NS = Not significant versus Asp 140, using one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Dunnett Multiple Comparisons Test. ADP: Adenosine diphosphate. (b) Effect of lycopene on collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Values represent the mean maximum platelet aggregation and error bars represent SD; n = 12 per group. Vehicle = 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide; Asp 140 = Aspirin 140 μmol/L; Lyc 4, Lyc 6, Lyc 8, Lyc 10, and Lyc 12 corresponds to 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 μmol/L of lycopene, respectively.
