Abstract: Objective To study the different effects of recombinant nattokinase (r-NK) on coagulation and fibrinolysis system in Beagle dogs and in miniature swine when trqated repeatedly at large dosage. Methods Platelet-related parameters were obtained by blood analyzer. The fibrinogen (Fib), activated partial thrombin time (APTT),prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time:(TT) were determined by coagulation method with the coagulation detector. Plasmmogen (PLG) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) were tested by ELISA. Results Repeated administration presented the same blood vessel irritation both in Beagle dogs and miniature swine. After 1 week of administration, the number of platelets was decreased, PT was prolonged, Fib concentration decreased and the activity of PLG were increased in Beagle dogs. However, r-NK had no effects on the above parameters in miniature swine. Conclusion There was toxic difference between different animals towards r-NK at the same dosage. In Beagle dogs, r-NK could break the balance between the coagulation and fibrinolysis system. Whereas r-NK had no effects on the coagulation and fibrinolysis system in miniature swine.
