Human prostaglandin EP3 receptor isoforms show different agonist-induced internalization patterns [PDF]
The human prostaglandin EP3 receptor comprises eight isoforms that differ in carboxyl-tail. We show here that the isoforms are trafficked differently. When expressed in HEK293 cells, the isoforms located to the cell surface, although a fraction of some ...

The effect of agility exercise on eicosanoid excretion, oxidant status, and plasma lactate in dogs
Background The objective was to determine the effects of agility exercise on dogs of different skill levels with respect to urinary eicosanoids, urinary 15F2t-isoprostane (lipid peroxidation marker) and hematological/biochemical changes in plasma ...

Effects of benzene, quercetin, and their combination on porcine ovarian cell proliferation, apoptosis, and hormone release [PDF]
We hypothesized that the environmental contaminant benzene and the plant antioxidant quercetin may affect ovarian cell functions and that quercetin could offer protection against the adverse effects of benzene.

Effects of prostaglandin F(2α) on adipocyte biology relevant to graves' orbitopathy.
BACKGROUND In Graves' orbitopathy (GO), increased proliferation, excess adipogenesis, and hyaluronan overproduction produce GO exophthalmos. Enophthalmos occurs in some glaucoma patients treated with Bimatoprost (prostaglandin F2α, PGF2α) eye drops.

Ascorbic acid enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on neuronal cyclooxygenase-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 production. [PDF]
Inhibition of neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and hence prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been suggested to protect neuronal cells in a variety of pathophysiological situations including Alzheimer's disease ...
