Identification of a Feed-Forward Loop Between 15(S)-HETE and PGE2 in Human Amnion at Parturition
Journal of Lipid Research, 2022 Human parturition is associated with massive arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization in the amnion, indicating that large amounts of AA-derived eicosanoids are required for parturition. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesized from the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway
