Comparison of Indomethacin and Nimesulide, a Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor, on Key Pathophysiologic Steps in the Pathogenesis of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Enteropathy in the Rat

Background: The predicted gastrointestinal tolerability of specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors could be due to either a lack of 'topical' irritation and/or lack of effect on cyclooxygenase-1. Methods: Key pathophysiologic steps (in vitro and in vivo uncoupling, intestinal prostanoid level...
