The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anticoagulant activity of Thymus atlanticus leaves. Methods and Results: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Khartoum state from March 2021 to June 2021. This study comprised 60 healthy volunteers (40% men and 60% women) aged 19-25 years. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were evaluated in the blood plasma with different amounts of Thymus atlanticus leaves using Coatron M1 (TECO Medical Devices). Thymus atlanticus leaves considerably lengthened APTT and PT in all tested concentrations. Furthermore, only the APTT test at a concentration of 5.17 μl revealed a significant difference in the anticoagulant activity of Thymus atlanticus leaves between males and females. No correlation between age and anticoagulant activity of Thymus atlanticus leaves on PT and APTT in the study was found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
