Mechanical and physical behavior of fibrin clot formation and lysis in combined oral contraceptive users
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are commonly prescribed and increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We have previously found that two COCs, both containing drospirenone (DRSP) and ethinyl estradiol (EE), ... -
Plasma phospholipid fatty acids are associated with altered fibrin clot properties in a population-based setting
(Elsevier, 2019)Evidence regarding the relationship of plasma clot properties with fatty acids is contradictory, owing to different experimental protocols employed. The relationship of fibrinogen and plasma fibrin clot properties with ... -
The clinical relevance of altered fibrinogen packaging in the presence of 17β-estradiol and progesterone
(Elsevier, 2016)Background The effect of endogenous hormone concentrations, specifically 17β-estradiol and progesterone, on fibrin network formation has not been established. Objectives It is essential to understand natural hormone ...
