## Abstract Prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (Txs), and leukotrienes (LTs) play a relevant role in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. Recent reports concerning cardiovascular risk associated with cyclooxygenaseβ2 selective inhibitors have prompted questions about the βprotectiveβ or β

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is currently recommended as an antithrombotic for patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) who are at an increased risk of thrombotic events. However, ASA is also associated with an increased risk of bleeding in these patients as compared to the risk of bleeding in oth
We have previously shown that angiotensin II (AII) potentiates responses evoked by endothelin-1 (Et-1). In the present study, the additional ability of hypoxia or phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu) to evoke hyperreactivity was examined. In addition, the role of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase metabo
## Abstract ## Objective To compare the effect of licofelone, NSβ398 (an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2 [COXβ2]), and BayXβ1005 (an inhibitor of 5βlipoxygenase activating protein) on the production of leukotriene B~4~ (LTB~4~) and prostaglandin E~2~ (PGE~2~), and on cell biomarkers by human osteoar
