COX-2 Inhibition by Diclofenac Is Associated With Decreased Apoptosis and Lesion Area After Experimental Focal Penetrating Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is followed by a secondary inflammation in the brain. The inflammatory response includes prostanoid synthesis by the inducible enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Inhibition of COX-2 is associated with improved functional outcome in experimental TBI models, although central...
