title: Morning vs evening effects of intrapulmonary administration of heparin in healthy men.
abstract: Calcium heparin in a dose of 13,200-15,300 U was administered in 8 healthy men, aged 26-54, by inhalation at 8:00 or 20:00, where each study was separated by a minimum of three weeks interval. Serum coagulation variables, lipids, electrolytes and enzymes were measured before inhalation, 2 h later and after 48 h. Following heparin inhalation changes both in coagulation variables and less distinct in lipids variables were noted at both test times, but no morning-evening differences were observed, with the exception of cholesterol and HDL.
