The Inhibiting Effect of a Plasma Globulin on Arterial Thrombus Formation (as Compared to Dipyridamole)

Summary

The inhibiting effect on arterial white thrombus formation of a globulin prepared from beef plasma has been compared to dipyridamole in white Wistar rats. It was demonstrated that the globulin fraction had a greater effect in inhibiting thrombus formation as judged by the lag time [t₍₁₎], the maximal thrombus value [m_(T)], the maximal thickness of the thrombus [m_(D)] and the maximal thrombus surface [m_(O)].
