Figure 2 Representative examples of thrombus formation in rats from control group, ${alpha}$ -tocopherol and ${gamma}$ -tocopherol group. The time to thrombus formation, as indicated by cessation of flow, is 9 min longer in ${alpha}$ -tocopherol fed rat, whereas thrombus formation is delayed markedly in the ${gamma}$ -tocopherol group. Please note the initial decrease in aortic flow in the rat from the ${gamma}$ -tocopherol group suggesting platelet aggregation; however, the flow is quickly restored suggesting break of the platelet aggregates.
