No significant changes (n.s.) were observed in platelet P-selectin (A), monocyte-platelet aggregates (B) and neutrophil-platelet aggregates (C) at different concentrations of unfractionated heparin (UFH) following 5 and 60 min of incubation. P values were calculated by Wilcoxon signed ranks test. (TIF 189 kb
