NAC and AC heparin are equally effective in the inhibition of myometrial and leiomyoma SMCs. Myometrial (Myo) and leiomyoma (Fib) SMCs were treated with 10% FCS in the presence or absence of NAC or AC heparin (10 to 300 μg/ml) for 2 days. Direct cell counting was performed on a Coulter Counter. Dashed lines represent cells treated with AC heparin and solid lines represent cells treated with NAC heparin. Note that the SEM for Fib NAC at 100 μg/ml heparin is <1%.
