    Abstract:
    Heparin-regulated alpha-thrombin ability to activate the response of the anticoagulation system has been studied by the perfusion of sinocarotid area of rabbits with DIP-alpha-thrombin-heparin complex. In a series of experiments the area was perfused with 1.8 micron DIP-alpha-thrombin and significant changes in anticoagulation parameters have been registered in systemic circulation. During perfusion of sinocarotid area by DIP-alpha-thrombin-heparin complex (2 microns) no activation of anticoagulation system was noted. DIP-alpha-thrombin-heparin perfusates contained no endogenic heparin, unlike DIP-alpha-thrombin perfusates. This confirms the absence of anticoagulation system response to DIP-alpha-thrombin. Control perfusion by heparin alone in equimolar concentrations revealed no changes in anticoagulation system. It is assumed that heparin, blocking cation subcentre of the recognition centre for high molecular compounds in the enzyme molecule, prevents the response of anticoagulation system, disturbing the enzyme ability to bind to specific receptors of the vascular walls.
