Effects of cyclooxygenase-1/cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition on leukocyte/endothelial cell interactions in the rat mesentery.

2002

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) inhibit cyclooxygenase activity and cause gastrointestinal damage in part by promoting leukocyte accumulation in the mucosa. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of selective blockade of the isoenzymes cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 on leukocyte adhesion in vivo. Leukocyte/endothelial cell interactions were examined in rat mesenteric venules before and after treatment with indomethacin, SC-560 (5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-trifluoromethylpyrazole, cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor), DFP (5,5-dimethyl-3-(2-propoxy)-4-(4-methanesulfonyl)-2(5H)-furanone, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor), or SC-560 plus DFP (20 mg/kg, i.v. each). Indomethacin i…

Influence of the calcium antagonist amlodipine on left ventricular mass and function in patients with essential hypertension

1997

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of antihypertensive treatment with the calcium antagonist amlodipine on left ventricular structure and systolic and diastolic function in patients with essential hypertension.
