(A) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released from dense granules during platelet activation. (B) Detection of activated platelets on platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) through bioluminescent assay. (C) PRF sample was observed under a fluorescence optical microscope. Based on bioluminescent intensity, the PRF could be equally divided into fibrin zone and platelet-rich zone. (D) The image brightness of bioluminescence was substituted into the ATP standard curve to determine the concentration of platelet-released ATP. The bars show the mean ± SD (n = 5) of each group. * p < 0.05.
