Copper bracelet . We analyzed prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) production by cyclooxygenase 2 (COX‐2) after exposure to biometals. Cu 2+ was the only metal ion that decreased PGE 2 production. These effects may explain the anti‐inflammatory benefits of Cu 2+ and the Cu 2+ –indomethacin complex reported previously.
