Comparative pathophysiology and toxicology of cyclooxygenases / Zaher A. Radi.

Show other versions (1)

The first thorough review of cyclooxygenase inhibitors, including their toxicity mechanisms and toxicopathological risks. Cyclooxygenases (COXs) are enzymes responsible for the formation of an important class of biological mediators called prostanoids. Prostanoids such as prostaglandins mediate infl...
