1 Expression of PGHS-2 is inhibited by antiinflammatory glucocorticoids, lending further support to the hypothesis that this enzyme produces prostaglandins involved in inflammation. Prostaglandins prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Mus musculus
2 Screening for drugs that preferentially inhibit PGHS-2 may allow identification of NSAIDs that reduce inflammation, but spare renal and gastric prostaglandin synthesis, thus reducing the untoward side effects commonly associated with most NSAIDs. Prostaglandins prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Mus musculus
