Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TEPI) is a potent inhibitor of tissue factor (TF)-induced blood coagulation, which is increased several-fold in post-heparin plasma and thought to contribute significantly to the antithrombotic action of heparin. In the present study we investigated whether subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), enoxaparin, had a different effect on intravascular pools of TFPI compared with continuous i.o. infusion of unfractionated heparin (UFH). 18 healthy male volunteers were randomly assigned to continuous i.v. infusion with UFH (initially 450 U/kg/24h, n=6) or to s.c. treatment with LMWH once daily (enoxaparin, 1.5 mg/kg, n=12) for 72 h. A bolus injection of 5000 TCT UFH i.o. caused an 8-13-fold increase in plasma-free TEPI antigen (TFPI Ag), followed by a progressive decrease (81 +/- 4%, P
