Myocyte volume and function in response to osmotic stress: observations in the presence of an adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Orally administered heparin (OHEP) is unreliable because of poor absorption. Sodium N-(8[2-hydroxybenzoyl]amino) caprylate (SNAC) is an amido acid that facilitates the gastrointestinal absorption of heparin. We evaluated the effectiveness of OHEP combined with SNAC (OHEP/SNAC) in the treatment of deep-vein t...
