We aimed to evaluate whether the addition of heparin alone, in doses needed to release LPL, would alter circulating free fatty acids (FFAs) and\/or affect gonadotropins.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a secondary analysis using combined data from eumenorrheic normal-weight women subjected to \u201ccontrol\u201d conditions in 1 of 2 separate studies. In 1 study, participants received saline alone (group 1) as a control, and in the other study participants received saline alone and\/or saline plus heparin (groups 2-3) as a control. Both studies performed early follicular phase, frequent blood sampling. FSH and LH were compared across groups and in conditions with and without heparin. Linear mixed models were used to analyze the data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>LH did not differ across any of the 3 groups. Estimated means (SE) for FSH differed between groups but this difference was marginal (P = .05) after adjusting for anti-Mullerian hormone and unrelated to heparin infusion (group 1: 4.47 IU\/L [SE 1.19], group 2: 8.01 IU\/L [SE 1.14], group 3: 7.94 IU\/L [SE 1.13]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Heparin does not exert major effects on gonadotropins when infused in quantities sufficient to release LPL.
