Concentrations represent the mean average of all samples (N = 4 horses for platelet concentration and fold change; N = 5 horses for Leukocyte, Monocyte, Lymphocyte, and Neutrophil concentration and Leukocyte fold change). Asterisk (*) represents a p < 0.05 between the bottom and middle layers of PRP; the dagger (†) represents a p < 0.05 between the top and bottom layers of PRP; and the double dagger (‡) represents a p < 0.05 between (+) and (–) centrifugation brake.
