Prostaglandin pathways in equine myometrium regulations: endometrosis progression [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionProstaglandins (PG) are important regulators of the myometrial contractility in mammals. Endometrosis, a condition characterized by morphological changes in the equine endometrium, also affects endometrial secretory function.

Selective COX-2 inhibitors and risk of myocardial infarction [PDF]
, 2005 Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase- 2 ( COX- 2, ` coxibs') are highly effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs that exert their action by preventing the formation of prostanoids.

Ascorbic acid enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on neuronal cyclooxygenase-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 production. [PDF]
, 2006 Inhibition of neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and hence prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been suggested to protect neuronal cells in a variety of pathophysiological situations including Alzheimer's disease ...

Quantitative structure–activity relationship based modeling of substituted indole Schiff bases as inhibitor of COX-2 [PDF]
, 2013 We have performed the quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) study for N-1 and C-3 substituted indole shiff bases to understand the structural features that influence the inhibitory activity toward the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme.

Flipping the cyclooxygenase (Ptgs) genes reveals isoform-specific compensatory functions1,2[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2018 Two prostaglandin (PG) H synthases encoded by Ptgs genes, colloquially known as cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2, catalyze the formation of PG endoperoxide H2, the precursor of the major prostanoids.

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]
, 2007 Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.
