Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of total flavonoids of Millettia nitida var. Hirsutissima Z.Wei on platelet aggregation and thrombosis in experimental rats. METHODS The platelet aggregation of rats was induced by adenosine diphosphate(ADP), collagen and thrombin. The rate of platelet aggregation was assayed by turbidity method, and the weight of thrombosis was determined by thrombus method in rats, which were administrated with 25, 50, 100 mg·kg
-1 total flavonoids of Millettia nitida var. Hirsutissima Z.Wei. RESULTS Different doses of total flavonoids of Millettia nitida var. Hirsutissima Z.Wei could inhibit platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen and thrembin and reduce the weight of thrombosis in rats. CONCLUSION The total flavonoids of Millettia nitida var. Hirsutissima Z.Wei can remarkably inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombosis.
