Relationship Between 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α and Predicted 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertensive Patients [PDF]
LifeBackground: 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.

Prostaglandin F and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F in the endometrium and uterine flushings of sheep before implantation [PDF]
Reproduction, 1983 The concentrations of prostaglandin F (PGF) and its major metabolite, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F-2 alpha (PGFM), were measured in caruncular and intercaruncular endometrium of pregnant and non-pregnant ewes on Days 9, 11, 13 and 15 after mating (Day 0) and related to the content of PGF and PGFM in the uterine flushings.

Effects of Brimonidine, Latanoprost, and Omidenepag on Tunicamycin-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Fibrosis in Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells [PDF]
BiomoleculesThis study evaluated the effects of α2-adrenergic agonist, prostaglandin F2α analog, and EP2 receptor agonist on tunicamycin-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and fibrosis in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells.

Cloning and expression of a cDNA for mouse prostaglandin F receptor.
Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 1994 A functional cDNA clone for mouse prostaglandin (PG) F receptor was isolated from a mouse cDNA library using polymerase chain reaction based on the sequence of cloned prostanoid receptors, and cross-hybridization screening. The mouse PGF receptor consists of 366 amino acid residues with putative seven transmembrane domains.

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 ...

PROSTAGLANDINS F AND OVULATION IN MICE [PDF]
Reproduction, 1974 Prostaglandins (PGs) are known to exert profound physiological and pharmacological effects on the female reproductive system in women and in many other species (Weeks, 1972; Labhsetwar, 1974). Indomethacin and aspirin, inhibitors of prostaglandin biosynthesis, block PMSG-induced ovulation in immature (Armstrong & Grinwich, 1972; Orczyk & Behrman, 1972)
