Long-Interval Prostaglandin F2α Combined with GnRH Improves the Estrus Synchronization and Reproductive Performance of Sheep During the Breeding Season [PDF]
AnimalsTo 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 ...

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

Insights into the prostanoid pathway in the ovary development of the penaeid shrimp Penaeus monodon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The prostanoid pathway converts polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into bioactive lipid mediators, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes and prostacyclins, all of which play vital roles in the immune and reproductive systems in most animal phyla.

A heterogeneous mixture of F-series prostaglandins promotes sperm guidance in the Caenorhabditis elegans reproductive tract. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The mechanisms that guide motile sperm through the female reproductive tract to oocytes are not well understood. We have shown that Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes synthesize sperm guiding F-series prostaglandins from polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA ...

PTGER4 expression-modulating polymorphisms in the 5p13.1 region predispose to Crohn's disease and affect NF-κB and XBP1 binding sites. [PDF]
, 2012 Genome-wide association studies identified a PTGER4 expression-modulating region on chromosome 5p13.1 as Crohn's disease (CD) susceptibility region. The study aim was to test this association in a large cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (

Hypothyroidism Affects Uterine Function via the Modulation of Prostaglandin Signaling
Animals, 2021 Thyroid hormones control the functions of almost all body systems. Reproductive dysfunctions, such as abnormal sexual development, infertility, or irregularities in the reproductive cycle, might be associated with thyroid disorders.
