1 A selective COX-2 inhibitor reduced platelet production of both PGE(2) and TXB(2) to a significantly greater extent in patients than in healthy subjects. Prostaglandins E mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
2 We conclude that both COX-isoforms contribute to prostanoid formation during human megakaryocytopoiesis and that COX-2-derived PGE(2) and TXA(2) may play an unrecognized role in inflammatory and hemostatic responses in clinical syndromes associated with high platelet turnover. Prostaglandins E mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II Homo sapiens
