Evaluation of the equivalence of different intakes of Fruitflow in affecting platelet aggregation and thrombin generation capacity in a randomized, double-blinded pilot study in male subjects

Table 1 Baseline characteristics of the subject group

Parameter	Pre-intervention baseline values
Country of origin	Indian Subcontinent
Age (years)	49 ± 9 (40–65)
BMI (kg/m2)	27.6 ± 3.4 (22.2–34.0)
Smoking status	1 smoker, 9 non-smokers
Resting blood pressure (mm Hg)	134 ± 10 / 85 ± 9 (120/70–150/100)
Waist / hip ratio	1.00 ± 0.00 (0.89–1.04)
Mean platelet volume (fL)	9.0 ± 0.8 (7.6–11.3)
Baseline platelet response to low ADP agonist (%AUC)	77.6 ± 15.1 (48.2–96.0)
Baseline platelet response to high ADP agonist (%AUC)	77.1 ± 10.0 (53.3–96.0)
Thrombin generation capacity (nmol/L)	331 ± 54 (254–420)

Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation, with the range given in brackets. N = 12. Low adenosine diphosphate (ADP) agonist concentrations are defined as 1–3 μmol/L. High ADP agonist concentrations are defined as 5–8 μmol/L. Platelet response is measured as % area under the aggregation curve, %AUC
