Which Substance Has the Most Effect on Inhibiting Platelet Adhesion?

CSEF · 2002 Biochemistry/ Molecular Biology

Scott A. Wood · Centerville Elementary School, Sanger

Overview

Objectives/Goals I wanted to see which medicine would have the most effect on the patelet activity. Methods/Materials I used the Surgicutt Jr. bleeding time tester and blotting papers. I also used Aspirin, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, and Garlic. I conducted the bleeding time test after the subjects took a controlled amount of each substance. Results The aspirin was by far the most effective blood thinner. The Ginseng was the most effective herb. Conclusions/Discussion My hypothesis was partially correct. Aspirin was the most effective of all but garlic wasn't the most effective herb. Ginseng was.
