Fig. 4From: Amine-modified nanoplastics promote the procoagulant activation of isolated human red blood cells and thrombus formation in ratsMeasurement of the mechanism underlying coagulation activation in human RBCs. After RBCs were treated with various concentrations of PS-NPs for 3 h, intracellular calcium levels (n = 5) (A) were detected. Depletion of intracellular ATP levels (n = 4) (B) and GSH levels (n = 6) (C) were observed after RBCs were exposed to PS-NPs. Scramblase activity was determined by measuring the translocation 10 min after C6-NBD-PC treatment (n = 7) (D). Data are presented as the mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus control (CON)Back to article page
