“Short-term (several days) or long-term (several weeks and months) … of cultured human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38; phase II) with heparin at 20--500 micrograms/ml inhibited cell proliferation and stimulated glycosaminoglycan … (as measured by the incorporation rates of [35S] sulfate and [14C] glucosamine into cellular … medium glycosaminoglycans).”

“These studies have thus demonstrated that selective N-deacetylation and N-desulfation of the glucosamine residues of heparin affect markedly both its anticoagulant activity and in vivo disposition characteristics.”
