Urinary prostaglandin E2 in the newborn and infant

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2007
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) belongs to a family of biologically active lipids derived from the 20-carbon essential fatty acids. Renal PGE(2) is involved in the development of the kidney; it also contributes to regulate renal perfusion and glomerular filtration rate, and controls water and electrolyte balance.

Roles of prostaglandin E2 in the cochlea

Hearing Research, 2011
Prostaglandins are one of the major groups of chemical mediators in the mammalian body. Among prostaglandins, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is the most abundant prostanoid in humans and involved in regulating many different fundamental biological functions. PGE2 signaling is mediated by four distinct E-prostanoid receptors (EPs) namely EP1-4.

Prostaglandin prodrugs. 5. Prostaglandin E2 ethylene ketal

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1977
AbstractProstaglandin E2 (II) wird durch direkte Ketalisierung mit Glykol in Benzol in das Ketal (I) übergeführt und hierdurch seine Dehydratisierung zu Prostaglandin A (III) unterdrückt.

Dimethylcelecoxib inhibits prostaglandin E2 production

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2008
Dimethylcelecoxib (DMC), a derivative of celecoxib, has been developed to distinguish between the COX-dependent and COX-independent anti-carcinogenic effects of celecoxib. Although DMC has been shown to have no COX-inhibitory activity, it is important to ensure that DMC has no other influence on prostaglandin production. Interestingly, in this study we

Prostaglandin E2 in renal transplant recipients

International Urology and Nephrology, 1992
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), sodium, potassium and creatinine were determined in the blood and urine of 50 renal transplant recipients treated for at least one year post transplantation with cyclosporine A or azathioprine as immunosuppressive agent. Fourteen healthy subjects were used as a control group.

Hypercalcaemic responses to 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2, a stable prostaglandin E2 analogue in chicks

Journal of Endocrinology, 1983
Intravenous injection of 6·7–60 μg of a stable prostaglandin E2 analogue, 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2, into 10-day-old chicks caused profound, long-lasting hypercalcaemia. Simultaneous i.v. loading with 50 μmol Ca/bird enhanced the peak response. The responses were accompanied by sedation and lowered skin temperature.

The hyperalgesic effects of prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2

Prostaglandins, 1978
Hyperalgesia induced in rat paws or dog knee joints by prostacyclin (PGI2) and prostaglandin E2 was measured by a modification of the Randall-Selitto method (1) or by the degree of incapacitation (2). In both species PGI2 induced an immediate hyperalgesic effect but the effect of PGE2 had a longer latency.

Effect of Prostaglandin E2 on Adjuvant Arthritis

Nature, 1969
THE prostaglandins are a class of cyclic, unsaturated, oxygenated fatty acids1,2 and their effects on capillary permeability3, corticosteroidogenesis4 and peripheral circulation5, as well as the prostaglandin-like activity found in inflammatory exudate6, suggested to us a possible therapeutic use in inflammatory conditions.
