Prostaglandin production in brain endothelial cells during the initiation of fever
The initiation of fever has been a matter of controversy. Based on observations of little or no induction of prostaglandin synthesizing enzymes in the brain during the first phase of fever it was suggested that fever is initiated by prostaglandin ...

Preparation of Prostaglandin F from Prostaglandin E. Prostaglandins and Related Factors. 6. [PDF]
Reduction of prostaglandin E (PGE) with sodium borohydride yielded 2 compounds 1 of which is identical with PGF isolated from the prostate of sheep and the other of which had different physical and biological properties but the same elementary composition. The former was designated PGF1 and the latter PGF2.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an endogenous lipid mediator, produced from the metabolism of arachidonic acids, upon the sequential actions of phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenases, and prostaglandin E synthases. The various biological functions governed by PGE2

Fibroblasts can be directly reprogrammed to cardiomyocytes, but reprogramming is less efficient for adult compared to embryonic fibroblasts. Here, the authors find that inhibition of inflammation and Cox-2-prostaglandin-cAMP-IL-1β signaling enhances ...

Antinociceptive activity of the S1P-receptor agonist FTY720 [PDF]
FTY720 is a novel immunosuppressive drug that inhibits the egress of lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid tissues and thymus. In its phosphorylated form FTY720 is a potent S1P receptor agonist.

A technique for the immunohistochemical localization of prostaglandin E. [PDF]
Prostaglandin E (PGE) has been localized via the unlabeled antibody technique in freeze-dried and ethanol-fixed cryostat sections. Discrete perivascular and stromal localization was present in the uterus prepared by the method presented, but not in classically fixed specimens. Absorption of the anti-PGE by addition of free PGE was ineffective; whereas,

Prostaglandins are a group of important cell-signaling molecules involved in the regulation of ovarian maturation, oocyte development, egg laying and associated behaviors in invertebrates. However, the presence of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the key enzymes

Is the anti-filarial drug diethylcarbamazine useful to treat COVID-19? [PDF]
The SARS-CoV-2 virus has resulted in a devastating pandemic of COVID-19. Exploring compounds that could offer a breakthrough in treatment is the need of the hour. Re-positioning cheap, freely available and safe drugs is a priority. The paper proposes evidence for the potential use of diethylcarbamazine (DEC) in the treatment of COVID-19.
