All NSAIDs block cycloxygenase and____________?

Correct answer: A. Prostaglandin synthesis

  • A. Prostaglandin synthesis
  • B. Ectoglandin synthesis
  • C. Preglandin synthesis
  • D. Costaglandin synthesis

Explanation

Cyclooxygenase converts arachidonic acid toward prostaglandin and thromboxane production, so NSAID inhibition reduces prostaglandin synthesis. The other listed terms are not recognised biochemical products.
