[Effect of heparin on blood lipids under conditions of endo- and exogenous hyperlipemia].

In 15 patients suffering from ischemic heart disease and in 5 healthy individuals (controls) the dynamics of the blood lipids content (NEFA, triglycerides and atherogenic lipoproteins) was followed up on an empty stomach, during a 18-hour fasting, after carbohydrate and fat loadings, before and after intravenous administration of heparin. Data on a quick and abrupt rise of the NEFA level and a falling triglycerides concentration, and also on a certain decline in the content of atherogenic lipoproteins following administration of heparin were obtained. In atherosclerotic patients the development of hypertriglyceridemia in response to introduction of glucose and a prolonged rise in the level of triglycerides following a fat loading were recorded. Intravenous administration of heparin with carbohydrates and fat loads contributes in atherosclerotic patients to a rapid fall of the blood plasma tryglycerides concentration.
