Abstract excerpt
The development of cyclooxygenase (COX) deficient mice has allowed investigation into the individual physiological roles of the COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms. In the following article, the phenotypes of the two Ptgs (genes coding for COX-1 and COX-2) knockouts are summarized, and recent studies to investigate the effects of COX deficiency on cancer susceptibility, inflammatory response, gastric ulceration, and female...
