Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to define the roles of prostaglandin H synthase 1 (PGHS-1, cyclooxygenase-1, COX-1) and prostaglandin H synthase 2 (PGHS-2, cyclooxygenase-2, COX-2) in wound healing, we investigated the healing of incisional dermal wounds in wild-type, PGHS-1 null, and PGHS-2 null mice. We measured tensile strength of the wounds, levels of PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 mRNA in the wound site, and histologic markers for the...
