Figure 3.

Monitoring of washed platelet aggregation by laser light scattering. The effect of oxLDL on platelet aggregation was also assessed by laser light scattering in the same experimental conditions as indicated in Figure 2, except that monitoring was only performed for the initial 6 minutes. Washed platelets were obtained from three different subjects (a, b, and c) and aggregation profiles are shown in triplicate (–1, –2 and –3) for each platelet sample. (d) To evaluate the results of the three experiments, the relative ratios of the mean laser light scattering intensity of triplicate data at 6 minutes (data for Buffer B were defined as 1) were used as the result of each experiment. The results are shown as mean ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05 vs. buffer.

buffer, Buffer B; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; oxLDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
