Our results demonstrate that there is positive feedback regulation of COX-2 expression by PG metabolites, but not COX-1, indicating that PG levels per se do not play an important role in the compensatory regulation between the two COX isoenzymes, but may play an important role in mediating increased COX-2 expression and activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
