| Research Abstract |
We found docetaxel and cyclophosphamide induced fatigue in rats, but COX-2 inhibitor efficiently inhibited only docetaxel-induced fatigue. Although COX-2 was increased by docetaxel, not COX-2 but TNF-α was significantly increased by cyclophosphamide. These results suggested that fatigue by docetaxel and cyclophosphamide was attributed etiologically to COX-2, and TNF-α, respectively.
