Ever wondered how doctors quickly reverse the common blood thinner, heparin? The antidote comes from one of the most unexpected places in nature...
Protamine sulfate, the drug used to neutralize heparin, was originally derived from the milt (semen) of salmon!!!! 🐟
It's a perfect example of nature's lock-and-key design. Heparin is strongly negatively charged (-). Protamine is a protein packed with positive charges (+).
When introduced, it acts like a powerful magnet 🧲, binding to heparin and instantly switching off its anticoagulant effect.
Fascinating!

#MedTrivia: Do you also cough when "cleaning"* your ear/s? This happens to me when I do my left ear. This is due to an aberrant innervation of the ear canal from a branch of the vagus nerve, which confuses the sensation with an irritation of the throat.😁
