摘要:Heparin is a well-known, widely used anticoagulant drug. In addition to its anticoagulant properties, however, it also has a marked influence on fat metabolism. Postprandial lipoproteins may contribute significantly to the development of coronary heart disease. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effects of heparin on these lipoproteins. The effect of continuous heparin administration on postprandial lipoprotein metabolism was studied in 11 patients with thromboembolic disease. Results were compared with those in a group of six patients given no heparin. Two vitamin A-fat loading tests were done: the first, 5 days before heparin was started and the second, on the fourth day of continuous heparin drip of 1000 U/h, maintaining PTT levels at twice the baseline. To study the effect of acute heparin, an additional fat loading test was done in five patients on the first day of heparin treatment. Vitamin A, specifically labels intestinally derived lipoproteins with retinyl palmitate (RP). The concentrations of chylomicron (Sf > 1000)- and nonchylomicron (Sf
