Hirudin, a potent anticoagulant in leech saliva, inhibits the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, preventing blood from clotting; hirudin is proved to be ten times more effective then heparin. "... Medicinal Leech salivary glands secretion (SGS) determines the humoral effect of hirudotherapy (medicinal leeches wounding the patient's skin followed the SGS injection) . High specificity of biological active proteins in SGS, such as hirudin, factor Xa inhibitor, triptase inhibitor, etc., determines the success of treatment done by medicinal leeches. |  |
