The major pathways for the formation of eicosanoids via the prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) pathway leads to (blank).
prostaglandin H2, which can be converted to prostacyclin, thromboxane A2 and a variety of prostaglandins

The major pathway for the formation of eicosanoids via the lipoxygenase pathway produces (blank), a precursor of some other leukotrienes. The cyclooxygenase activity of PGHS (prostaglandin H synthase) is inhibited by (Blank).

78
What does prostaglandin H synthase do? What inhibits this?
it converts arachidonate to prostaglandin G2 (via the ecosanoid synthesis pathway) inhibited by COX inhibitor (Aspirin)
79
Why is aspirin not awesome for your stomach?
aspirin blocks Cox-1 and Cox-2, Cox-1 is important for mucin production to protect stomach wall from acid
80
What was the drug recalled for myocardial risk?
rofecoxib (vioxx)
81
(blank) is not an anti-inflammatory and | does not block prostaglandin formation. It works by a different mechanism than NSAIDS.
acetomenophen (tylenol)

What kind of drug is naproxen?
anti-inflammatory
83
(blank) produces eicosanoids in the stomach that decrease acid secretion.
Cyclooxygenase 1
84
(blank) causes most of the inflammation responses.
Cyclooxgenase 2
85
What is this: COX-2 inhibitor. Designed not to inhibit COX-1 and therefore have less stomach ulcer side effects. It does have other side effects and its sisters, Vioxx and Bextra, both COX 2 inhibitors, are no longer used. New COX 2 inhibitors are in the pipeline and will undoubtedly be available in the future.
Celebrex
86
(blank) is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. It does not inhibit cycloxygenase and works by repressing the synthesis of phospholipase (at the DNA to RNA level). If you don't have phospholipase A2, then you wont make eicosanoids.
