COX-2 inhibitors and the heart: are all coxibs the same?
The selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs) were originally developed to minimise the adverse effects of conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) while maintaining the same analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Many large studies confirmed the improved gastric side effect profile of coxibs compared with non-selective NSAIDs; however, reports of increased cardiovascular morb...
متن کاملNSAID-induced enteropathy: are the currently available selective COX-2 inhibitors all the same?
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can induce intestinal mucosal damage, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The present study investigated the effects of celecoxib, etoricoxib, indomethacin, and diclofenac on small bowel integrity in rats. Male rats were treated orally with test drugs for 14 days. Animals were processed for assessment of blood hemoglobin levels a...

متن کاملAre all COX-2 inhibitors created equal?
Prostaglandins (PGs) are biologically active lipids derived from the cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated metabolism of arachidonic acid. They are constitutively produced in certain tissues (eg, brain, gut, and kidney), and their synthesis is increased at sites of inflammation. Prostanoids function as important mediators of inflammation and modulate a variety of physiological processes, including main...
متن کامل[Biochemical markers in heart failure: are they all the same?].
Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(3):241-3 241 In recent years there has been a huge proliferation in the number of studies examining the diagnostic and prognostic value of the numerous and varied biochemical markers of chronic heart failure. These markers are the mediators or expression of the neurohumoral activation associated with this disease—a consequence of left ventricular dysfunction and its hem...
