Abstract

1. In the stomach, prostaglandins protect the gastric mucosa against injuries. One rate-limiting step in prostaglandin synthesis is mediated by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PGHS), the target enzyme of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Two isoforms of PGHS exist: a constitutive (PGHS-1) and an inducible (PGHS-2) enzyme. PGHS-1 is the major source of gastric prostaglandins under physiological conditions. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by traditional NSAIDs such as indomethacin and diclofenac which non-selectively inhibit both PGHS-1 and PGHS-2, causes gastric and intestinal ulceration and delays gastric ulcer healing in chronic models. It has been shown that selective PGHS-2 inhibitors such as L-745,337 (5-methanesulphonamide-6-(2,4-difluorothio-phenyl)-1-inda none) are not ulcerogenic and do not inhibit gastro-intestinal prostaglandin synthesis. However, minimal information is available on the long-term effects of PGHS-2 inhibitors on the healing of previously established gastric injuries. We assessed the cellular localization and expression of PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 during gastric ulcer healing and assessed the effects of L-745,337 on previously established cryoulcers in the rat gastric stomach. 2. PGHS-...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
