Hypercoagulability
Cortisol Connection
Cortisol Connection
Hypercoagulability is common, especially in patients with hypercortisolism: cortisol blocks production of adenosine-derivatives. IMG
X-derivatives
X-derivatives
Warfarin is a xanthine-similar anticoagulant: xanthines are known to block adenosine receptors: e.g. caffeine.
Rivaroxaban has a xanthosine (Xo)-similar structure: given caffeine as an adenosine receptor blocker, a xanthosine-similar adenosine receptor blockade would not be surprising. IMG
Hydroxyurea
Hydroxyurea
Hydroxyurea may act by reducing RNR activity PMID 34777360 (converting ATP to dATP, etc) in order to increase ATP, decrease hypercoagulability in sickle cell patients?
