1 | BACKGROUND/AIMS: Water diuresis usually increases medullary oxygenation as a result of increased medullary synthesis of prostaglandins, but it is not clear whether this involves activation of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). | Water | mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II | Homo sapiens |
2 | CONCLUSION: Renal medullary oxygenation is improved by water diuresis in normal young women in a way that is blocked by a selective inhibitor of COX-2 as well as non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors. | Water | mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II | Homo sapiens |
