From: Uric acid enhances alteplase-mediated thrombolysis as an antioxidant
Effect of UA on alteplase-induced thrombolysis under flow conditions in whole blood. (a) Representative still videomicroscopy images of thrombogenesis and thrombolysis over 15 to 16 min in samples exposed to alteplase or UA–alteplase in whole blood. The asterisk (white area) indicates thrombi. (b) Flow–pressure curves in the control, UA, alteplase, and UA–alteplase groups in whole blood (n = 6). (c) AUC30 in the control, UA, alteplase, and UA–alteplase groups in whole blood (n = 6). Abbreviations: UA, uric acid; AUC30, area under the curve at 30 min; n.s., not significant.
