The α- and β-globin chains affect R-time and Ly30 of tPA-challenged TEGs. Whole blood was drawn from healthy controls and tPA (75 ng/ml) challenged TEGs were completed. Four TEG parameters were measured. 1a) R-time: the α-globin chain at the two highest concentrations (3μg/ml and 5 μg/ml) significantly shortened the R-time as did the highest concentration of the β-globin chain (5μg/ml). 1b) Angle: neither the a-globin chain nor the b-globin chain affected the angle in tPA-challenged TEGs at any of the concentrations employed. 1c) The maximal amplitude (MA) was unaffected by either the α-globin chain or the β-globin chain. 1d) The β-globin chain significantly increased the Ly30 in a concentration-dependent manner; whereas the b-globin chain did not affect Ly30 in the tPA-challenged TEGS (n=7, *=p<0.05 versus WB and NS).
