| Background: Therapeutic use of unfractionated heparin and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) is limited by hemorrhagic adverse effects. We compared the antithrombotic effect of LMW fucoidan (LMWF) and LMWH in an experimental model. Methods: Thrombosis was induced in femoral arteries of male New Zealand White rabbits by in situ induction of endothelial apoptosis with staurosporine (10(-5) M for 30 min). Starting the day before apoptosis induction, the animals received subcutaneous LMWF (15 mg/kg), LMWH (enoxaparin 2.5 mg/kg) or saline solution (control group) twice a day for 4 days. Results: The degrees of apoptosis and endothelial denudation were similar in the 3 groups. The thrombotic score was significantly lower in the LMWF group than in the LMWH and... |
