Abstract

The mechanism of heparin rebound is still unclear and the present study reports on its successful reproduction under in vitro conditions. By measuring clotting time, by the use of electrophoretic techniques and with the employ of protease inhibitors it was found that protamine is proteolytically degraded on incubation in plasma. The obtained results suggest that heparin rebound entails the degradation of protamine and the release of the previously bound heparin into the circulation.
