| Figure 2: Dose-dependent antithrombin activity of LSE from the medicinal Malaysian leech. X= protein concentration (μg/ml) and Y= percentage increase in TT. LSE1: leech saliva extract collected from starved leeches in May (sunny season). Y=16.01X-157.5, R2=0.948. LSE2: leech saliva extract collected from starved leeches starved in November (rainy season). Y=4.953X-11.73, R2=0.984. LSE3: leech saliva extract collected from starved leeches in December (rainy season). Y=5.491X-69.66, R2=0.986. LSE4: leech saliva extract collected from starved leeches in January (rainy season). Y=3.382X-53.56, R2=0.989. All results are expressed as the mean of triplicates ± SEM. |
