NR 293 For each effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within the body, i NR 293 For each effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within the body, indicate if the response results from blocking the COX-1 and/or COX-2 enzyme. Each effect may be caused by both enzymes.Effects of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)NSAIDs work by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins. There are two types of COX enzymes: COX-1 and COX-2. Each of these enzymes has different effects in the body. Here is a table that summarizes the effects of NSAIDs on the body and the corresponding COX enzyme that is blocked:EffectCOX-1COX-2Pain reliefYesYesReduction of inflammationNoYesReduction of feverNoYesProtection of stomach liningYesNoBlood clottingYes
