  • 📝 Thiocyanate and Sodium as Endogenous Antithrombotics: Reframing the Prostaglandin Paradigm

    Abstract Trauma-induced clot formation is traditionally addressed through pharmacologic intervention targeting thrombotic and inflammatory pathways. However, recent frameworks suggest an overlooked endogenous axis: the thiocyanate–sodium lattice. This paper explores the role of SCN⁻ and sodium in preventing vascular leakage and clot formation, especially in high-inflammation states initiated by prostaglandin cascades. 1. Introduction Injury initiates a…

  • The conjugate (10S,11S) JH diol phosphate is the product of a two-step enzymatic process: conversion of JH to JH diol and then addition of a phosphate group to C10

    The conjugate (10S,11S) JH diol phosphate is the product of a two-step enzymatic process: conversion of JH to JH diol and then addition of a phosphate group to C10. The enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation of JH diol is JH diol kinase (JHDK), which was first characterized from the Malpighian tubules of early fifth instars of M. sexta. The Malpighian tubule system is a type of excretory and osmoregulatory system found in…

  • Prostaglandins (PG)

    The prostaglandins (PG) are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds called eicosanoids  “Eicosanoid Synthesis and Metabolism: Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes, Leukotrienes, Lipoxins”. themedicalbiochemistrypage.org. Retrieved 2018-09-21.  having diverse hormone-like effects in animals. Prostaglandins have been found in almost every tissue in humans and other animals. They are derived enzymatically from the fatty acid arachidonic acid.
