  Background: We investigated the effect of resveratrol alone on platelet counts and ability to aggregate and its effect in combination with β-glucan. Methods: The experiment included three groups of growing piglets. Resveratrol was administered to the first experimental group (R). The second experimental group (RG) received resveratrol with the addition of β-glucan. The third group was used as control (C) and received alcohol solution only. Blood samples were collected before the start of the experiment and at the end of the 1st and 2nd week of supplementation. The number of platelets, their aggregation activity (amplitude) and rate of aggregation (slope) after stimulation by ADP and Cationic Propyl Gallate (CPG) were determined. Res.. Read More»
