Trabajo presentado en las XV Jornadas CIBER Enfermedades Hepáticas y Digestivas: Jornades científiques del CIBERehd, celebradas en modalidad virtual y de forma presencial en Barcelona (España) del 08 al 09 de noviembre de 2021., Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostanoids. Prostaglandins are involved in multiple homeostatic processes, as well as playing an important role in the onset of inflammation. COX-2 is an isoform that is expressed and induced by different stimuli in various tissues and cell types; however, in liver, COX-2 expression is restricted to those situations where proliferation and dedifferentiation occur (1). Our previous results have shown that COX-2 expression in hepatocytes protects against hyperglycemia-induced liver damage, peripheral insulin resistance and adiposity in mice fed a high-fat diet (2), and also protects against experimental non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis (3)., This work was supported by SAF2016-75004-R and PID2019-108977RB-I00 (MINECO, Spain) and CIBERehd (ISCIII, Spain).
