Expression of the prostaglandin F synthase AKR1B1 and the prostaglandin transporter SLCO2A1 in human fetal membranes in relation to spontaneous term and preterm labour

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Background: Human labour is a complex series of cellular and molecular events that occur at the materno-fetal and uterine levels. Many hypotheses have been proposed for the initiation of human labour, one hypothesis suggests that maturation of the fetus ...

Prostaglandin F receptor expression in intrauterine tissues of pregnant rats. [PDF]

J Vet Sci, 2014
In this investigation, we studied the expression and localization of rat prostaglandin F (FP) receptor in uterine tissues of rats on gestational Days 10, 15, 18, 20, 21, 21.5 and postpartal Days 1 and 3 using Western blotting analysis, real-time PCR, and

Long-Interval Prostaglandin F_2α Combined with GnRH Improves the Estrus Synchronization and Reproductive Performance of Sheep During the Breeding Season [PDF]

Animals
To improve the efficiency of prostaglandin F2α (PG)-based estrus synchronization in sheep, this study assessed the effect of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) included in the long-interval PG treatment regimen for sheep estrus synchronization ...

Prostaglandins E and F in Endocrine Diarrheagenic Syndromes

Annals of Surgery, 1976
The role of prostaglandins in endocrine diarrheagenic syndromes was evaluated by measuring peripheral concentration of immunoreactive PGE and PGF in patients with non-endocrine diarrhea as well as those with the Zollinger-Ellison (Z-E) syndrome, MCT, carcinoid tumors and the WDHA syndrome. In 21 normals, PGE and PGF levels averaged 272 +/- 18 and 119 +/

PROSTAGLANDIN F_2αINDUCED STEROIDOGENESIS AND LUTEOLYSIS IN THE PRIMATE CORPUS LUTEUM [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1973
In experiments designed to study the effect of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on the primate corpus luteum, laparotomy was performed on monkeys, and the principal ovarian vein was cannulated for measurement of ovarian progesterone output and blood flow ...

Colocalization of prostaglandin F2α receptor FP and prostaglandin F synthase-I in the spinal cord [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Prostaglandin F2α is synthesized by prostaglandin F synthase, which exists in two types, prostaglandin F synthase I (PGFS I) and prostaglandin F synthase II (PGFS II). Prostaglandin F2α binds to its specific receptor, FP. Our previous immunohistochemical

Enzymic separatory determination of prostaglandin F and F.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1975
A simple and sensitive method is described for separatory determination of prostaglandin E and prostaglandin F. This method is based on three principles : (1) Prostaglandin E and prostaglandin F are oxidized by prostaglandin dehydrogenase, resulting reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH).

Failure of Parturition in Mice Lacking the Prostaglandin F Receptor [PDF]

Science, 1997
Mice lacking the gene encoding the receptor for prostaglandin F 2α (FP) developed normally but were unable to deliver normal fetuses at term. Although these FP-deficient mice showed no abnormality in the estrous cycle, ovulation, fertilization, or implantation, they did not respond to exogenous oxytocin because of ...

Relationship Between 8-iso-prostaglandin-F_2α and Predicted 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertensive Patients [PDF]

Life
Background: 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) is a recognized marker of oxidative stress. Previous studies suggested that 8-iso-PGF2α plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and cardiovascular (CV) diseases.

The prostaglandin F synthase activity of the human aldose reductase AKR1B1 brings new lenses to look at pathologic conditions.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Prostaglandins are important regulators of female reproductive functions to which aldose reductases exhibiting hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity also contribute.
