This review focuses on the role of cyclooxygenases in reproductive medicine and biology. The cyclooxygenase enzymes catalysis the role-limiting reactions for prostaglandins and thromboxame synthesis. Two separate isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2, are present, and differences in their roles are discussed in the context of inflammation and parturition.
