“…It is also possible that calcium concentration determines, indirectly, the cellular response to mechanical stimulation (osteogenesis or bone resorption) because this ion is responsible for 83% of PGE 2 synthesis. Additionally, the anabolic effects of PGE 2 are mediated by EP2 prostaglandin receptor and, mainly, by EP4 prostaglandin receptor, both located at the nuclear membrane (Cherian et al, 2005;Fortier et al, 2001;Genetos et al, 2005;Ke et al, 2003;Keila et al, 2001;KleinNulend et al, 1997;Li et al, 2005;Machwate et al, 2001;Mullender et al, 2004;Nomura & Takano-Yamamoto, 2000;Reich et al, 1997;Watanuki et al, 2002;Xu et al, 2007).…”
