  • Further, there were no significant differences in basal or in low- or high-VP-stimulated PGI 2 or TXA 2 production in younger or older M. In contrast, there were marked differences in cerebrovascular reactivity and prostanoid release with advancing age in F. Older RS F exhibited reduced maximal constrictor responses to VP, which can be attributed to enhanced COX-1 derived dilator prostanoids. (utmb.edu)
  • VP-induced vasoconstriction in younger MA F utilized both COX-1 and COX-2 derived constrictor prostanoids. (utmb.edu)
  • These results suggest that COX-1 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD and a selective COX-1 inhibitor may be therapeutically beneficial in AD. (nih.gov)
  • Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the effect of resveratrol on the production of prostanoids induced by IL-1β in SK-N-SH cells, a human neuroblastoma cell line. (medscape.com)
  • In inflammatory conditions, the two enzymes that contribute the most to PGE 2 production are cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, which converts AA into PGG 2 and PGH 2 , and microsomal PGE 2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1), which converts PGH 2 into PGE 2 . (medscape.com)
