ROLE OF CYCLO-OXYGENASE PRODUCTS IN ENDOTOXAEMIA AND SEPSIS... [Pg.93]

NSAIDs exert their effects by inhibition of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX). This results in reduced production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes because COX normally catalyses their formation from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandins play a role in pain by sensitising sensory nerve endings to the effects of other mediators such as bradykinin. [Pg.245]
