Effects of intravenous heparin on oxidation of fat

The intravenous injection of heparin to carbohydrate-fed rats results in an elevation of plasma free fatty acid levels and in a lowering of the respiratory quotient from 1.0 to 0.9. The injection of heparin simultaneously with palmitic acid-C14-labeled chylomicrons results in an elevation of the spe...

These observations suggest that heparin causes an obligatory oxidation of fat, presumably through the release of free fatty acid from triglyceride.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022227520390787
