The following table provides the reduction potentials of the indicated reducing agent at 25 °C. For example, among sodium (Na), chromium (Cr), cuprous (Cu +) and chloride (Cl −), it is Na that is the strongest reducing agent while Cl − is the weakest; said differently, Na + is the weakest oxidizing agent in this list while Cl is the strongest.

These NSAIDs, while reducing inflammation, also inhibit platelet aggregation and increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds. [11] COX-2 selective inhibitors have fewer gastrointestinal side effects, but promote thrombosis, and some of these agents substantially increase the risk of heart attack.
a strong base; deprotonates ketones and esters to generate enolate derivative Sodium borohydride: a versatile reducing agent; converts ketones and aldehydes to alcohols Sodium chlorite: in organic synthesis, used for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids Sodium hydride: a strong base used in organic synthesis Sodium hydroxide
In whole, the NSAIDs prevent the prostaglandins from ever being synthesized, reducing or eliminating the inflammation and resulting pain. [citation needed] Some common examples of NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. The newer specific COX-inhibitors are not classified together with the traditional NSAIDs, even though they presumably ...
Reductones are reducing agents, thus efficacious antioxidants. Some are fairly strong acids. [ 2 ] Examples of reductones are tartronaldehyde, reductic acid and ascorbic acid.
Relatively strong reducing acids can have antinutrient effects by binding to dietary minerals such as iron and zinc in the gastrointestinal tract and preventing them from being absorbed. [145] Examples are oxalic acid, tannins and phytic acid, which are high in plant-based diets. [146]
Anti-obesity medication or weight loss medications are pharmacological agents that reduce or control excess body fat. These medications alter one of the fundamental processes of the human body , weight regulation, by: reducing appetite and consequently energy intake , increasing energy expenditure , redirecting nutrients from adipose to lean ...
