Estimation of peroxidase component of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes by calorimetric method. Control animals (n = 4) were sacrificed, before (basal) and at specific time points after incision (between 2 hr and day 3) for estimating COX activity. Maximum increase was noted at 8 hours, when COX-2 activity was greater than COX-1. Pooled tissues (n = 4) was evaluated at each time point and thus statistical analysis could not be performed.
