Effects of Danhong mixture on platelet aggregation of rabbits

Abstract

Objective To study the effects of Danhong mixture on platelet aggregation of rabbits.Methods 40 rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups,8 rabbits in each group,of blank control group (treated with 0.5％ sodium carboxy methyl cellulose of the same volume),Danhong mixture of 5,2.5,1.25 g/kg group,aspirin group (treated with 0.025 g/kg aspirin).Each group was performed gastric lavage according to the ration of lml/kg,once daily,for continuous 8 days.Blood was obtained from heart 1 hour after last administration,then adenosine diphosphate (ADP),collagen,arachidonic acid (AA) were used for platelet aggregation test.Results Inhibition rate of Danhong mixture (5,2.5,1.25 g/kg) on ADP induced rabbit platelet aggregation were 9.4％,5.1％,and 0.6％ respectively,on collagen induced platelet aggregation were 34.5％,11.1％,and 5.6％; on AA induced platelet aggregation were 21.4％,11.6％,and 2.3％ respectively.Conclusion Danhong mixture had inhibitive action on platelet aggregation.
