Increased blood levels of inflammatory cytokines CRP, TNF-α, CD40L, MCP-1 and Nitric Oxide in malignancy-associated thrombosis and their modulation by a low molecular weight heparin, Enoxaparin
“…However, enoxaparin has previously been observed to have immune-modulating effects by inhibiting the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α. 17,18 The cytokine hypothesis of major depression therefore offers an alternate mechanism by which enoxaparin could improve depression. The cytokine hypothesis proposes a role of elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the development of depression.…”
Enoxaparin may be a novel adjunct to the treatment of depression in elderly patients. The possible benefit of enoxaparin would require further study to exclude a coincidence in these clinical cases.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
