Cox2 is one of the downstream enzymes that converts the long chain 20 carbon Omega 6 Arachidonic Acid to the inflammatory products.
It is also involved in hormone control as downstream products of Omega 6 ultimately regulate sex hormone production (with lots of other factors playing a part).
All of which is part of why excess Omega 6 and lack of Omega 3 arguably play a significant part in cancers.
If you search Cox2 in search above there have been over time quite a few links on the subject.
Cox blockers are being tested as adjunctive treatment in a number of cancers.
A problem is that once you have eaten Omega 6 it has to go somewhere
- Store it in fat
- Burn it
- Turn it into chemicals
Cox blockers are probably at best a diversion. Getting the raw material back within natures parameters is arguably a better starting point.
