Effect of pro- and anti-coagulants on clot retraction force. All experiments were conducted at 25 °C with blood re-calcified and supplemented with thrombin. (a) Clot retraction force CRF measured by mHRM plotted as a function of time, for blood samples pre-treated with aprotinin (pro-coagulant) and heparin (anti-coagulant). Control without any pro- or anticoagulant treatment was included for comparison. (b) Bar plots of reaction time Tr, CRF growth rate GCRF, and CRF at 60 min (CRF60). Data represents mean ± s.e.m with n = 3 (aprotinin treated), n = 6 (control), and n = 6 (heparin treated). **, P < 0.01. N.S., P > 0.05.
