## Abstract Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) expression and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ (PPARγ) inactivation are linked to increased risk of human breast cancer. The purpose of our study was to examine the relationship between COX‐2 (with the resulting prostaglandins E~2~, PGE~2~) and PPAR

Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (CyPGs), derivatives of arachidonic acid, have been suggested to exert growth-inhibitory activity through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Here we examined various eicosanoids for growth inhibition and found that t
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) has been the focus of studies assessing its potential neuroprotective role. These studies have shown either neuroprotection or neurotoxicity by PPARgamma ligands. Comparison of these studies is complicated by the use of different PPARgamma
Objective. The cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite, 15-deoxy-⌬ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), has been reported to inhibit the expression of a number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, its effects on COX-2 remain controversial. We undertook this study to investigate the
## Abstract 15‐deoxy‐Δ^12,14^ prostaglandin J~2~ (15dPGJ~2~), a peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) ligand, induced synergistic stimulation of DNA synthesis in the presence of phorbol dibutyrate (PDB) in Swiss 3T3 cells. This effect was dose‐dependent and the maximum response w
