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)[reply]

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)[reply]

sorry, the article was confusing. i just fixed it some. Jytdog (talk) 11:22, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
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.
