MEA reliably detected the effects of aspirin. Notably, 500 mg aspirin caused complete inhibition of arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation for 2 days in all volunteers. Aggregation returned to baseline values with a wide interindividual variation in time course by day 5. No resting time for the blood sample was required for ASPItest or TRAPtest. These assays can be implemented as real POC tests. The reproducibility of the assays studied here is within the range of modern POC analyzers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
