Inhibitory Effect of Hexahydrocurcumin on Human Platelet Aggregation

Abstract

The effects of hexahydrocurcumin on adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced human platelet aggregation were studied. Treatment of human platelet-rich plasma with hexahydrocurcumin resulted in an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, suggesting the potential of this compound as an anti-atherosclerogenic agent in humans.
