Docosahexaenoic Acid Enhances Cyclooxygenase-2 Induction by Facilitating p44/42, but Not p38, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Activation in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
The effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cyclooxygenase expression induced by interleukin (IL)-1β and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was investigated in order to clarify the cellular mechanism of cardiovascular protective effects. DHA and eicosap...
