A 54-year-old woman presents to her family physician's
office with a 2 week history of pain and numbness in her
left hand
A 19-year-old man, lying flat on a stretcher and wearing a
hard cervical collar, arrives in the Emergency Room
Do you administer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs or steroids to these patients?

Review Questions
• How are prostaglandins, leukotrienes,
lipoxins, and thromboxanes
synthesized (substrates, enzymes,
cofactors)?
• What is the nomenclature for
prostaglandin, leukotriene, lipoxin,
and thromboxane receptors?
• How do NSAIDs work?
• How do steroids work?
• What are important characteristics of
COX-1 and COX-2?
• How do ω-3 fatty acids affect the
inflammatory response?
