**Heparin is known as a "clearing factor"** 

  * Heparin is called the "clearing factor" because it helps clear fat (lipids) from the blood. 
  * It does this by activating an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which breaks down fat molecules so they can be used or stored by the body. 
  * This process prevents fat from accumulating in the blood, keeping it clear
