Abstract

Two differently charged polypeptides, α-poly-L-lysine and poly-L-glutamate, have previ- ously been shown to effectively reduce postoperative intraabdominal adhesions. Though α-poly-L-lysine showed toxicity in doses too close to the lowest the-rapeutic dose, the aim in the present study was to investigate the possible antiadhesive effect of another four cationic polypeptides.
