Abstract
The effect of gamma radiation and high energy electrons on the anticoagulant and antilipaemic properties of heparin has been investigated. There was a fall in both activities, but the anticoagulant was reduced more readily than the antilipaemic. After electron bombardment the anticoagulant activities of two different batches of heparin were reduced almost identically, an unexpected finding since such a high degree of reproducibility is not possible with chemical degradation.Keywords
