Question: where are cox enzymes located?
Answer: COX-1 is found mainly in the gastrointestinal lining, and COX-2 at sites of inflammation. NSAIDS (Nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and flurbiprofen inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, and are taken regularly by over 33 million Americans for pain and inflammation.
