(1) provide evidence in this issue of PNAS in favor of crucial roles played by the kinin B1 receptor in toxic shock, inflammation, and nociception. B1 receptors are generally silent or absent in healthy states and are induced or activated by pathological challenges. When they are absent, as in B1-KO mice, ti...
متن کاملNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and renal response to exercise: a comparison of indomethacin and nabumetone.

In a randomized fashion, ten subjects were studied after indomethac...

متن کاملCrocin exerts improving effects on indomethacin-induced small intestinal ulcer by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms
Crocin is a plant-derived carotenoid and bears potent antioxidant property. Ranitidine (a histamine H2 receptor blocker) is used for peptic ulcer treatment. The present study was planned to investigate the effects of crocin and ranitidine on indomethacin-induced ulcer in small intestine of rats.
