Experiments were performed to evaluate the role of prostaglandin synthesis in the regulation of coronary blood flow in dog hearts. The left main coronary artery was cannulated and flow measured both in otherwise intact animals and in canine heart-lung preparations. Prostaglandin E was measured by radioimmunoassay. Reactive hyperemia (flow after occlusion release) was induced by coronary occlusi...
The present experiment was performed to identify endothelium-derived contracting factor produced by acetylcholine stimulation in the aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The rings of the thoracic aorta were obtained from age-matched SHR and WKY rats, and changes in isometric tension were recorded. The relaxant responses to acetylcholine in the...
The ability of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors to exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease suggests that prostaglandins are important anti-inflammatory mediators in this context. Prostaglandin D(2) has been suggested to exert anti-inflammatory effects. We investigated the possibility that prostaglandin D(2) derived from cyclooxygenase-2 plays an important role ...
OBJECTIVE To study the effectiveness and morbidity of adding hygroscopic cervical dilators to prostaglandin gel for cervical ripening and labor induction. STUDY DESIGN Patients of at least 34 weeks' gestation with a medical indication for induction of labor and with a modified Bishop score of 5 or less were randomized to receive either prostaglandin gel or prostaglandin gel with hygroscopic c...
Hyperproduced prostaglandin E2 by cyclooxygenase-2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 evokes several pathophysiological responses such as inflammation and carcinogenesis. Our recent study demonstrated that Dioscorea japonica extract suppressed the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 and induced apoptosis in lung carcinoma A549 cells. In the present st...
Previously, we reported the involvement of brain omega-6 prostanoids, especially prostaglandin E(2) and thromboxane A(2), in the activation of central sympatho-adrenomedullary outflow in rats. omega-3 Prostanoids, including prostaglandin E(3) and thromboxane A(3), are believed to be less bioactive than omega-6 prostanoids, although studies on the functions of omega-3 prostanoids in the central ...
Studies on the biological fate in man of primary prostaglandins of the E and F series have shown that metabolic conversion takes place into a series of side-chain degradation products that are excreted in urine (Samuelsson, 1973). The major metabolite of prostaglandin FzQ in the urine is 5a,7a-dihydroxy-ll-oxotetranorprostane-l,16-dioic acid (referred to below as ‘prostaglandin F metabolite’), ...
BACKGROUND Prostaglandin E which is present abundantly in the gastric mucosa is a powerful inhibitor of gastric acid secretion and a stimulus to gastric mucus production. In addition, prostaglandin E2 inhibits ulcer formation in animals, and the synthetic analogues of prostaglandin E have successfully been used in the treatment of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer disease. To evaluate th...
Previous work has shown that renal metabolism of 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) to the active metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) is stimulated by prostaglandin E2 and inhibited by acetylsalicylate (aspirin). As prostaglandins are primary inflammatory mediators and synovial fluid macrophages are known to synthesise 1,25(OH)2D3 in vitro, the effects of prostaglandin E1, prostag...
1. The effects of changes in sodium balance on renal prostaglandins have been hitherto studied mainly in experimental animals and the results have been controversial. In this study the 24 h urinary excretion of prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha was measured by radioimmunoassay in seven normal subjects under basal conditions and after 5 days of a diet containing less than 20 mmol of sodium/day. Sub...
