Prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis by microsomes of rabbit ocular tissues.
Microsomes of albino rabbit ocular tissues were incubated with (1-14C)-arachidonic acid for 15 min at 37 degrees C. Thin-layer chromatography revealed that ciliary body-iris microsomes were capable of synthesizing prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha), PGE2, PGD2, thromboxane B2(TXB2), and 6-keto-PGF1alpha. Indomethacin 14 micrometer in the incubation medium essentially abolished all prostaglandin ...
متن کاملOcular toxoplasmosis: recent aspects of pathophysiology and clinical implications.
Toxoplasma gondii is an extremely successful opportunistic parasite which infects approximately one third of the human population worldwide. The impact of this parasite on human health becomes particularly manifest in congenital damage with infection and subsequent inflammation of neuronal tissues including the retina. Although advances in our understanding could be achieved in ocular toxoplasm...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis potentiates constrictor responses of cerebral and ocular blood vessels to thromboxane in monkeys.
The goal of our study was to examine the effects of infusion of serotonin and the thromboxane A2 analogue U46619 into one carotid artery to stimulate their release from platelets during aggregation. We measured blood flow to the brain and eye using microspheres and cerebral microvascular pressure in the pial arteries of normal and atherosclerotic cynomolgus monkeys. Unilateral intracarotid infu...
متن کاملRole of Cytokines in Pathophysiology of Asthma
The worldwide incidence, morbidity and mortality of asthma are increasing dramatically. It is one of the most common disorders encountered in clinical medicine in both children and adults. It affects approximately 5% of the adult population in the western world and its reported incidence is increasing vigorously in many developed nations. A network of a novel mediator known as ‘pleiotropic cyto...
متن کاملThromboxane In Vivo
We examined the relative contribution of endothelial and vascular smooth muscle-derived prostaglandins and endothelium-derived relaxing factor in modulating both the large coronary artery and resistance vessel responses to thromboxane in vivo. Vascular responses to the thromboxane analogue U46619 were measured in four separate experimental protocols: 1) The vascular responses were measured in t...
