[A comparative study of the action of preparations of high- and low-molecular weight heparin on hemostatic indices in vitro and in their intravenous administration to animals].

Low-molecular heparin preparations (a Soviet sample and that manufactured by the Celsus Company) in vitro, added to bovine plasma possess a lower antifactor-II activity, less time of recalcification and partial thromboplastin time as compared to high-molecular heparin of equal concentration (mg/ml) or dose (Units/ml). After intravenous injection of low-molecular heparin preparations to animals in a dose of 50 Units/200 g bw the time of hemorrhage was far less, while anticoagulant activity was lower than in animals given the same dose of high-molecular heparin. Both injection of low-molecular and high-molecular heparin results in a rise of the intensity of non-enzymatic fibrinolysis in the animals' blood plasma.
