Mechanism of acute gastrointestinal mucosal damage in endotoxic shock and the effect of Fragmin

Semin Thromb Hemost. 1990 Oct:16 Suppl:55-9.

Abstract

1. PAF and LTs may be mediators of the acute gastrointestinal mucosal damage due to endotoxic shock. 2. LTs may be mediators of the acute gastrointestinal mucosal damage due to PAF administration. 3. LMW heparin and unfractionated heparin prevented the increase of LTs due to endotoxin and PAF administration.
