abstract：BACKGROUND:Prostaglandin (PG) E(2) (PGE(2)) appears to have a role in stimulating production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and apoptosis of smooth muscle cells in diseased aortic tissue. These actions are mediated by cellular receptors for PGE(2) EP receptors. OBJECTIVE:This study was undertaken to identify EP receptors ass...
