Effects of ginsenoside Ro (G-Ro) on fibrin clot retraction. (A) Photographs of fibrin clot. (B) Effects of G-Ro on thrombin-retracted fibrin clot. Quantification of fibrin clot retraction was performed as described in the “Materials and methods” section. 1) (control − thrombin)/control × 100. 2) [control − (thrombin + G-Ro)]/control × 100. 3) [thrombin − (thrombin + G-Ro)]/thrombin × 100. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 4). * p < 0.05 versus the thrombin-stimulated human platelets.
