“Although the patients were not randomized with respect to clopidogrel treatment, multivariate analysis showed that arachidonic acid –induced platelet activation was less in patients receiving clopidogrel.”
“Nevertheless, some patients taking aspirin or clopidogrel showed reduced inhibition of ADP and arachidonic acid induced aggregation in adjusted PRP but not in native PRP.”
