Frequently Asked Questions

Q2. What is an angiogenesis inhibitor?

NOVA Online | Cancer Warrior | Frequently Asked Questions
An angiogenesis inhibitor is a naturally occurring or synthetic molecule that can interfere with or "block" angiogenesis. Since abnormal angiogenesis rarely turns itself off spontaneously, the goal of antiangiogenic therapy is to stop the formation of new blood vessels and to break up the existing abnormal blood vessels. Angiogenesis inhibitors target new, growing blood vessels and do not affect normal resting blood vessels in the body.

Q8. Can I use an angiogenesis inhibitor with the chemotherapy that I am on right now?

NOVA Online | Cancer Warrior | Frequently Asked Questions
Angiogenesis inhibitors currently in clinical trial are part of protocols written specifically to test these drugs for safety and effectiveness. Until these drugs are approved by the FDA, they must be tested in strictly monitored studies. Only anticancer drugs that are part of the investigational protocol may be used.

What is a COX-2 inhibitor?

Centre For Orthopaedics & Hip and Knee Surgery
Most NSAIDs inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 because both enzymes are very similar. So, while they prevent COX-2 from producing inflammation, they also stop the stomach lining from producing the prostaglandins that protect it from acid. Without “housekeeping” prostaglandins, the stomach lining is exposed to the harmful effects of acid, and may develop an ulcer. This is why people taking older NSAIDs are at such a high risk of developing a stomach ulcer.

What's this I keep hearing about a dual 5AR inhibitor?

Frequently asked hair loss questions - answered here
DHT is produced from testosterone by two 5-alpha reductase isoenzymes, called Type I and Type II. Type I 5AR is much more prominent in the scalp than Type II. However, immunostaining techniques reveal that Type I is abundant in sebaceous glands, while significant Type II is present in the dermal papilla itself. Glaxo Wellcome is currently testing a medication (Dutasteride) that inhibits Both isoenzymes. It is noteworthy that Dutasteride also inhibits more Type II 5AR than finasteride does.

Where should the Trap and Inhibitor be placed in the yard?

Mosquito Deleto Frequently asked questions
Since mosquitoes live in ground foliage, the Trap should be placed at ground level. Find an area in the yard that is shaded with dense foliage and is blocked from direct sunlight and wind gusts. This area should be approximately 50 feet away from the outdoor gathering. In contrast, the Inhibitor should be placed directly on decks and picnic tables.

Unlike food that is best taken as a "natural" substance, medications are taken for a specific problem. Therefore, one should take a form that is pure, where the exact dose is known, where controlled scientific studies have been performed and published in reputable medical journals to show its efficacy and safety, and where other ingredients of unknown safety are not included.

What precautions are necessary when switching between venlafaxine and an MAO inhibitor?

Venlafaxine (Effexor) FAQ
When switching from an MAO inhibitor to venlafaxine, there should be a 14-day interval between the discontinuation of the MAOI and the initiation of venlafaxine therapy. When switching from venlafaxine to an MAOI, a 7-day interval is adequate because of venlafaxine's short half-life.

What precautions are necessary when switching between nefazodone and an MAO inhibitor?

Nefazodone (Serzone) FAQ
When switching from an MAO inhibitor to nefazodone, there should be a 14-day interval between the discontinuation of the MAOI and the initiation of nefazodone therapy. When switching from nefazodone to an MAOI, a 7-day interval is adequate, because of nefazodone's short half-life.

How is the trypsin inhibitor (TI) removed from soybeans?

SoyQuick Automatic Soymilk Maker - FAQ
There are both heat-stable (saponins, tannins, estrogens, phytate) and heat-labile (protease inhibitors) in soy. Protease inhibitors in soy are destroyed by heating but other factors also play a role, such as duration of heating, particle size and moistusre conditions. Thus, how soy products are processed will dictate how much of the protease inhibitor (also known as trypsin inhibitor) remains.

What is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor?
