All-<it>trans </it>retinoic acid induces COX-2 and prostaglandin E<sub>2 </sub>synthesis in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells: involvement of retinoic acid receptors and extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Our recent results show that all-<it>trans </it>retinoic acid (ATRA), an active metabolite of vitamin A, induces COX-dependent hyperalgesia and allodynia in rats. This effect was mediated by retinoic acid receptors (RARs)...
