Amazing sodium heparin plays a huge role

Heparin sodium can delay or hinder blood clotting in vitro and in vivo. Its mechanism of effect is extremely subtle, which has an impact on many links in the coagulation process. Its effects are: (1) according to the composition and effect of coagulation activating enzyme, and then prevent prothrombin from becoming thrombin; (2) At higher concentrations, it has the effect of pressing thrombin and other coagulation factors, preventing fibrinogen from becoming fibrin; (3) It can hinder the aggregation and damage of platelets. In addition, the anticoagulant effect of heparin sodium is still related to the negatively charged sulfate in its molecule, and the positively charged alkaline substances such as protamine or toluidine blue can neutralize its negative charge, so it can press its anticoagulant effect. Because heparin can activate and release lipoprotein esterase in the body, so that the triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins of chylomicrons are hydrolyzed, heparin sodium also has a hypolipidemic effect. In addition, heparin sodium can also be used in the field of skin care and beauty.
