Objective

The acute effect of heparin on lipoprotein clearance is well characterized. Yet, the effect of prolonged low-molecular-weight-heparin (LMWH) administration on post-prandial lipemia has remained so far unexplored. Recent reports suggest that LMWH could modify lipid and carbohydrate metabolism by diminishing TNF伪-mediated inflammatory response. This, together with the known negative effect of TNF-伪 on insulin sensitivity, prompted us to hypothesize that LMWH would favorably affect post-prandial lipoprotein disposal.

Methods

Twenty four patients were given a vitamin A-fat loading meal at the end of 6-week enoxaparin treatment and after 3-month washout period. Post-prandial lipemia was assessed by measuring retinyl-palmitate (RP) during 8 hours following the meal. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI), plasma lipolytic activity and plasma TNF-伪 were measured.

Results

Enoxaparin did not impact fasting plasma lipids and lipoproteins levels. Enoxaparin increased RP clearance in the chylomicron remnant (CMR) fraction by 32% (P < 0.01). Additionally, enoxaparin decreased plasma TNF-伪 by 22% (P < 0.01), increased hepatic lipase (HL) activity by 81% (P < 0.01), along with a 2-fold increase in ISI (P < 0.01). The decrease in CMR correlated with the reduction in TNF伪 and the increase in ISI and HL activity (R = 0.48, -0.68, - 0.56, respectively, p < 0.05). Significant correlations were also found between the reduction in TNF伪 and both the increase in ISI and increase in HL activity (R = - 0.43, -0.54, respectively, P < 0.05).

Conclusions

The association of the effect on post-prandial metabolism, plasma TNF伪 level and HL activity during prolonged enoxaparin treatment may support the hypothesis that the beneficial outcome of enoxaparin may possibly be linked to anti-inflammatory and lipase-potentiating impact.
