Abstract

Background: Nimesulide is a pharmacological agent and selective COX-2 inhibitor. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of nimesulide on oxidant/antioxidant, DNA mutation and COX-1/COX-2 activities in rat liver tissue with induced ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).
