Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Components of the Circadian Clock Regulate Thrombogenesis In Vivo

TL;DR: Key components of the molecular clock regulate the response to a thrombogenic stimulus in vivo, and together with the influence of these genes on blood pressure may contribute to the diurnal variation in cardiovascular events observed in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of Dense Genecentric Association Studies Reveals Common and Uncommon Variants Associated with Height

Matthew B. Lanktree, +202 more
TL;DR: It is shown that dense coverage of genes for uncommon SNPs, coupled with large-scale meta-analysis, can successfully identify additional variants associated with a common complex trait.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular pharmacology of nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and coxibs: clinical considerations.

TL;DR: Prostacyclin synthesis may be important for limiting thrombotic events in patients who are at an increased cardiovascular risk, and further studies are necessary to clarify the relative risk-to-benefit ratio of COX-2 inhibition in patients at increased risk for cardiovascular events, and the effects of concomitant aspirin therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of the Thromboxane Receptor α, the Predominant Isoform Expressed in Human Platelets

TL;DR: Protein kinase C played a more important role in agonist-induced phosphorylation of native TPα in human platelets than in human embryonic kidney 293 cells overexpressing recombinant TPα, and TPα was the only isoform detectably translated inhuman platelets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential signaling by the thromboxane receptor isoforms via the novel GTP-binding protein, Gh.

TL;DR: Gh is expressed in platelets and vascular cells and may associate with both TP isoforms, however, stimulation of TP iso forms results in differential activation of downstream signaling pathways via this novel G protein.
