How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Ibuprofen but not celecoxib significantly inhibited thromboxane-dependent platelet aggregation induced ex vivo by arachidonic acid, 83% against 11.9%, and reduced serum thromboxane B2 by 95% and urinary 11-dehydro thromboxane B2 by 70%, while both ibuprofen and celecoxib suppressed an index of cyclooxygenase-2 activity to a comparable degree and both suppressed urinary excretion of the prostacyclin metabolite 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, data suggesting that cyclooxygenase-2 is a major source of systemic prostacyclin biosynthesis in healthy humans.

    Measures both isoform-specific indices in the same people, which is what allows the prostacyclin source to be assigned. Acute dosing in healthy volunteers.
