State the action of NSAIDS in peptic ulcer?
Prostaglandin (PGE2) and prostacyclin (PGI2) are cytoprotective of the GI mucus membrane. They decrease the acid secretion, promotes the secretion of protective mucus, and enhance mucosal blood flow. However, arachidonic acid, a membrane lipid requires cyclooxygenases (COX1) to synthesize prostaglandins, while NSAIDS inhibit the cyclooxygenases. In other words, NSAIDS inhibit COX1, which blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins, which disallows the decrease of acid secretion, decrease the secretion of protective mucus, and decrease mucosal blood flow, therefore, causing peptic ulcer, which is an imbalance in acid secretion and mucus protectant.
What is catarrhal inflammation?
a surface inflammation associated with greatly increased secretion of clear mucus.
What do mucus and serous cells secrete?
