The influence of heparin and heparinoids on the release of plasminogen activator was studied in the isolated perfused pig ear. Heparin enhances the release of the tissue activator of fibrinolysis in a dose-dependent manner within the range of 0.05–1.0 IU/ml perfusion fluid. The release is also caused by sulfated polyanions at concentration of 10 μg/ml.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
