question: what is the role of prostaglandins in cardiac regenaration after myocardial infarction?
answer: Prostaglandins are involved in tissue regeneration after myocardial infarction and inhibitors of prostanoid production, such as aspirin and COX-2 inhibitors, have negative impact in this process. Furthermore, pharmacological interference with prostaglandin synthesis following myocardial infarction is associated with reduced fibrillar collagen formation.
