In vivo -acether or thrombin. High doses of heparin were found to inhibit platelet accumulation induced by ADP, collagen or PAF-acether. Inhibition of these responses necessitated doses of heparin in excess of those required for anti-coagulant effects. The present experiments do not establish a mechanism for such inhibition. Extension to other species, including man, is needed before attributing clinical relevance to the present observations.
