Abstract
PHENOLS counteract the antithrombic activity of plasma and serum1. The antithrombic activity is present in a protein fraction which also contains the co-factor required for the anticoagulant effect of heparin2. The antithrombic and the heparin co-factor activity are present in the α-globulin fraction of human plasma3. It was therefore of interest to test the influence of phenols on heparin activity in plasma.
