FLAP inhibitor
[edit]Does somebody know if a FLAP inhibitor means the same thing as a 5-LOX inhibitor?
Omega-3 fatty acids
[edit]Shouldn't omega 3 fatty acids be included? Also, hyperforin and St John's wort should be referred together. 688dim (talk) 22:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Please explain: What are POTENT inhibitor and Selective Inhibitor?
[edit]Baicalein[1] Caffeic acid[1] Curcumin[1] Hyperforin[2][3][4] (potent inhibitor) Meclofenamate sodium[1] St John's wort[2][3][4] (potent inhibitor) Zileuton[1][5] (selective inhibitor)
And what are the adverse effects? If one eats for example Curcumin, does it hurt if one eats also Caffeic acid or what happens? How long inhibition? 5 hours? ee1518 (talk) 08:29, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
- sorry, the article was confusing. i just fixed it some. Jytdog (talk) 11:22, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
- In regard to your questions below the header (in order):
- adverse effects vary by drug/compound. Completely inhibiting only this enzyme has negligible adverse effects.
- No. Taking two enzyme inhibitors simply further inhibits the enzyme.
- varies with each compound.
