Rescue of Female Infertility from the Loss of Cyclooxygenase-2 by Compensatory Up-regulation of Cyclooxygenase-1 Is a Function of Genetic Makeup
1 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an inducible rate-limiting enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes including female fertility, renal function, angiogenesis, inflammation, and tumorigenesis. We showed previously that targeted deletion of Ptgs2 encoding COX-2, but not Ptgs1 encoding COX-1, in C57BL/6J/129 mice produces complete female infertility resulting...
