Clearing Factor Inhibitor in Human Atherosclerosis

Clearing factor inhibitor in human atherosclerosis.

A reductioii in leparin-activated clearing factor has been demonistrated in individuals with atheroselerosis or conditions related to it. The recent isolation fromn normal plasmlla of an inhibitor to clearing factor suggested that the reduction described mllight be due to .in increased level of inhibitor. This possibility was therefore investigated by determiiiilug the inhibitor efTect of tile ...

Absence of lipemia clearing factor lipase in human adipose tissue.

Lipoprotein lipase, or lipemia clearing factor lipase (which is more accurate terminology [l]) , is a heparin-activated enzyme which has been found in rat, beef, and pig heart (2). The adipose tissues of rats, rabbits, and especially chickens contain greater quantities of the enzyme (3). This latter observation led to the suggestion that the major site of lipoprotein lipase activity was in the ...

Heparin - Activated Clearing Factor

A possible relationship may exist between the concentration of heparin-activated plasma clearing factor and alterations in lipid metabolism associated with advancing age, atherosclerosis, and other diseases. To test this hypothesis, 121 men were evaluated in the development and application of a standardized in vitro method for the determination of clearing factor response to minimal heparin sti...

FIRST SURVEY OF FACTOR IX INHIBITOR IN NORTHEASTERN IRAN

FACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY

Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...
