Differential effects of RU486 reveal distinct mechanisms for glucocorticoid repression of prostaglandin E2 release

TL;DR: Two pharmacologically distinct mechanisms of glucocorticoid-dependent repression of prostaglandin E2 release are revealed: first, arachidonic acid repression is mimicked by RU486 and, second, repression of COX/PGES is antagonized by RU485.
