This study initially confirmed that, among prostaglandins (PGs) produced in bone, only PGE 2 has the potency to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in the mouse coculture system of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. For the PGE 2 biosynthesis two isoforms of the terminal and specific en
