متن کاملProstaglandins as mediators of COX-2 derived carcinogenesis in gastrointestinal tract.
This review was designed to show the role of expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 in the cancerogenesis of esophagus, stomach and colon. Unlike COX-1, which is expressed in the normal esophago-gastro-colonic mucosa, COX-2 was found to be expressed mainly in the pre-cancer changes in the mucosa including Barrett's esophagus, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-induced gastritis and inflamm...

The neural network of the brain, which generates the stress respo...
