Neutralization of heparin activity by neutrophil lactoferrin.
Lactoferrin is a prominent component of neutrophil secondary granules, and its blood concentration is increased in certain inflammatory diseases. In contrast to the well-described biochemical characterization of lactoferrin as an iron-binding protein, its physiologic role in the regulation of inflammation and other host defense mechanisms is unclear. In this report, we provide evidence that lac...
متن کاملHeparin Neutralization by Platelet-Rich Thrombi
Background Platelets contain several factors that inhibit heparin. This study was designed to assess the heparinneutralizing activity present in acute, platelet-rich arterial thrombi formed at sites of arterial injury in animals. Methods and Results Platelet-rich thrombi (n=3) were induced in pig coronary arteries by balloon catheter-mediated arterial injury. Soluble extracts were prepared from...
متن کاملEvaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...
متن کاملA Possible Mechanism of Hypotension During Heparin Neutralization
Background. When used to reverse the anticoagulant effect of heparin, protamine sulfate often causes vasodilation that can lead to systemic hypotension. Protamine is rich in the basic amino acid arginine, which is the precursor of endothelial cell synthesis of nitric oxide, and nitric oxide is the active component of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). Methods and Results. To determine ...
متن کاملEndothelial binding sites for heparin. Specificity and role in heparin neutralization.
The specificity of endothelial binding sites for heparin was investigated with heparin fractions and fragments differing in their Mr, charge density and affinity for antithrombin III, as well as with heparinoids and other anionic polyelectrolytes (polystyrene sulphonates). The affinity for endothelial cells was estimated by determining I50 values in competition experiments with 125I-heparin. We...
