Roles of three putative salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) prostaglandin E2synthases in physiology and host–parasite interactions [PDF]
The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a parasite of salmonid fish. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exhibit only a limited and ineffective immune response when infested with this parasite.

Robust ab initio prediction of nuclear electric quadrupole observables by scaling to the charge radius [PDF]
Meaningful predictions for electric quadrupole (E2) observables from ab initio nuclear theory are necessary, if the ab initio description of collective correlations is to be confronted with experiment, as well as to provide predictive power for unknown E2 observables.

Rebamipide, a mucoprotective drug, inhibits NSAIDs-induced gastric mucosal injury: possible involvement of the downregulation of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 plays an important role in the maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity. The level of biologically active prostaglandin E2 in the tissue is regulated by the balanced expression of its synthetic enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase, and its ...

Kallikrein-1 blockade inhibits aortic expansion in a mouse model and reduces prostaglandin E2 secretion from human aortic aneurysm explants [PDF]
Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an important cause of mortality in older adults. The kinin B2 receptor agonist, bradykinin, has been implicated in AAA pathogenesis through promoting inflammation.

Prostaglandin E2 in apical tissue fluid and postoperative pain in intact and teeth with large restorations in two endodontic treatment visits [PDF]
Introduction. Acute periapical inflammation is the most common cause of postoperative pain developing as a result of mechanical, chemical and/or microbial injury of periapical tissue.

Molecular mechanisms underlying prostaglandin E2-exacerbated inflammation and immune diseases.
Prostaglandins (PGs) are the major lipid mediators in animals and which are biosynthesized from arachidonic acid by the cyclooxygenases (COX-1 or COX-2) as the rate-limiting enzymes.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is widely distributed in various tissues, and exhibits various biologically important activities. PGE2 synthase (PGES) catalyzes conversion of COX-derived PGH2 to PGE2. It now appears that there are at least three distinct types of PGES in mammals. We identified two distinct glutathione-dependent PGESs.
