and the induction of iNOS and COX-2 at the late phase, (4 h) accompanied by an
inhibition of the formation of TNF-alpha, prostaglandin E(2), nitrate and
myeloperoxidase activity ... Based on these results, it is suggested
that the inhibition of NO and prostaglandin E(2) over-production through
suppressing iNOS and COX-2 induction and attenuation of TNF-alpha formation and
neutrophil infiltration into inflammatory sites by C-PC may contribute, at least
in part, to its antihyperalgesic activity" - See
