Figure 3From: Infection-associated platelet dysfunction of canine platelets detected in a flow chamber modelPlatelet dysfunction in dogs with infection as assessed in the flow chamber. Platelet covered area a) and average size of platelet covered areas b) of dogs with bacterial inflammation (n = 8) in comparison to clinically healthy dogs (n = 16) investigated in the flow chamber under standardized conditions (canine collagen 200 μg/mL, wall shear stress 14 dynes/cm2) in non-activated and PAR 4 agonist activated platelets (mean ± SD; * = P < 0.05; paired t-test, # = P < 0.05; unpaired t-test).Back to article page
