Figure 8. Increased thrombin generation potential in aged humans is likely mediated through cfDNA.

Figure 8

Platelet poor plasma from young and middle aged/older subjects was treated with either 20 µg/mL of DNase 1 or same dose of heat‐inactivated DNase 1 as control for 60 minutes and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) was measured. Data are presented as mean±SD. *P<0.01 vs young subjects treated with heat‐inactivated DNase 1, # P<0.0001 vs middle aged/older subjects treated with heat‐inactivated DNase 1 (2‐way ANOVA, with Tukey test). N=9 in each group. cfDNA indicates cell‐free DNA.
