1. Endogenous fibrinolytic capacity increases after administration of 1-desamino-8-d-vasopressin. This increase is commonly attributed to an increase in release of tissue-type plasminogen activator from the endothelium. However, the possibility that 1-desamino-8-d-vasopressin influences liver blood flow, which is a major determinant of tissue-type plasminogen activator clearance, cannot be ruled out. 2. The influence of 1-desamino-8-d-vasopressin on haemodynamics, liver blood flow and fibrinolytic parameters was investigated in a randomized double-blind cross-over study in nine healthy male subjects (age 20–26 years). 3. 1-Desamino-8-d-vasopressin exerted significant haemodynamic effects: mean arterial pressure decreased maximally 12 (95% confidence interval 8–15) mmHg and heart rate increased maximally 21 (95% confidence interval 15–27) beats/min. 4. Endogenous fibrinolytic parameters increased after administration of 1-desamino-8-d-vasopressin. Both tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen and tissue-type plasminogen activator activity were elevated and showed the maximal response shortly after drug administration was completed. 5. 1-Desamino-8-d-vasopressin increased portal venous blood flow as measured with echo-Doppler. The maximal increase in mean blood flow of 55 (95% confidence interval 19–92)% was observed at the end of the 1-desamino-8-d-vasopressin infusion and coincided with the maximal changes in systemic haemodynamics and fibrinolytic parameters. The increase in portal blood flow was not reflected in significant changes in Indocyanine Green clearance. It appears that the Indocyanine Green method is relatively insensitive to increases in liver blood flow. 6. The observed increase in fibrinolytic activity due to tissue-type plasminogen activator activity after 1-desamino-8-d-vasopressin administration may be due to an increased release of tissue-type plasminogen activator from the endothelium and is not caused by changes in clearance.

Abstract The influence of the presence of fibrin microclots on the systemic fibrinogenolytic effects of intravenous (IV) recombinant human tissue- type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) was studied by injection of a homogenized fibrin suspension in the femoral vein or artery in rabbits. A linear correlation (P less than .001) was found between the extent of fibrinogen breakdown and the amount of fibrin (0 to 32 mg/kg) injected just prior to the IV infusion of rt-PA at a rate of 10 micrograms/kg/min for 60 minutes. This finding suggests that the systemic activation of the fibrinolytic system observed in some patients during infusion of rt-PA may be due, at least in part, to the presence of fibrin in the vascular bed. The effect of blood flow in the liver on the turnover of rt-PA was measured in rabbits after ligation of the hepatic artery and monitoring of the blood flow in the portal vein with a peristaltic pump. The half-life (t1/2) of rt-PA in plasma was inversely correlated with the logarithm of the rate of the liver blood flow. A doubling of the plasma t1/2 of rt-PA was observed after an eightfold reduction of the liver blood flow, suggesting that delayed clearance of rt-PA may occur in patients with severe cardiovascular failure and impaired liver blood flow.

SummaryThe effects of orally-administered stanozolol, 5 mg b. d. on fibrinolysis, coagulation and on various haematological and biochemical parameters have been studied in 16 healthy adults, 8 males and 8 females. Statistically significant enhancement of extrinsic (tissue-type) plasminogen activator activity was detected in all subjects studied. This was associated with significant increases in plasma plasminogen and a concomitant reduction in histidine-rich glycoprotein. There were no changes in plasma urokinase activity. Changes in the coagulation system included significant reduction in plasma fibrinogen and elevation of protein C and anti thrombin III. Changes in plasma lipids included significant reduction of HDL cholesterol associated with an increase in LDL triglycerides. No change occurred in total cholesterol. There were no major differences between the sexes, nor were there serious side effects.The effects of stanozolol on extrinsic (tissue-type) plasminogen activator activity, “free” plasminogen, protein C and antithrombin III, argue strongly in favour of its therapeutic potential.

Recent studies by Astedt et al. have shown increasing levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor during pregnancy, but the origin of the inhibitor is unknown. Levels of fibrinolytic parameters were determined in plasma collected from 18 females (age 22.7 ± 3.2, mean ± SD) after a normal medically controlled pregnancy at the time of delivery and on the following 5 days. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) antigen was measured by enzyme immunoassay, urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) antigen by a radioimmunoassay and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI ) by a functional assay. The results are summarized in the following table:Postpartal changes in tPA antigen and PAI have been found to be significant, both decreasing after delivery and reaching normal control values for tPA on day 2 and for PAI on day 1 while uPA antigen remained normal. Since tPA levels before delivery have been found to be normal, increased levels at delivery might be caused by a release or by hormonal changes, while the decrease in PAI might again be caused by hormonal changes or by removal of the placenta.
