F-Prostaglandin receptor regulates endothelial cell function via fibroblast growth factor-2

BMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Prostaglandin (PG) F2α is a key regulator of endometrial function and exerts its biological action after coupling with its heptahelical G protein-coupled receptor (FP receptor).

Do Seminal Isoprostanes Have a Role in Assisted Reproduction Outcome?

Life, 2021
F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs), stereoisomers of prostaglandin F2α generated by the free radical-induced oxidation of arachidonic acid, have been associated with different male infertility conditions.

Prostaglandin F in the Fallopian Tube Secretion of the Ewe [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1978
Oviducal secretions were obtained from conscious unrestrained ewes throughout the oestrous cycle via indwelling cannulae and the content of prostaglandin F (pGF) was determined by radioimmunoassay. Levels of PGF of up to 230 ngjml were found in oviducal fluids obtained from ewes showing regular patterns of secretion and normal cyclical ovarian function

The human aldose reductase AKR1B1 qualifies as the primary prostaglandin F synthase in the endometrium.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011
CONTEXT Prostaglandins (PGs) E2 and PGF2α are produced in the endometrium and are important for menstruation and fertility. Dysmenorrhea is associated with increased production of PGF2α relative to PGE2, and the opposite is true for menorrhagia.

Genes for prostaglandin synthesis, transport and inactivation are differentially expressed in human uterine tissues, and the prostaglandin F synthase AKR1B1 is induced in myometrial cells by inflammatory cytokines.

Molecular human reproduction, 2011
Prostaglandins (PGs) are important factors in the physiology of human parturition and the control of uterine contractility. We have characterized the expression of 15 genes from all stages of the PG pathway in human pregnant and non-pregnant (NP ...

Inflamm-aging and arachadonic acid metabolite differences with stage of tendon disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The contribution of inflammation to the pathogenesis of tendinopathy and high prevalence of re-injury is not well established, although recent evidence suggests involvement of prostaglandins.

Transport of prostaglandin F(2alpha) pulses from the uterus to the ovary at the time of luteolysis in ruminants is regulated by prostaglandin transporter-mediated mechanisms.

Endocrinology, 2010
In ruminants, prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF(2alpha)) is the uterine luteolytic hormone. During luteolysis, PGF(2alpha) is synthesized and released from the endometrium in a pulsatile pattern.

Molecular and cellular paradigms of multidrug resistance in cancer

Cancer Reports, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The acquisition of resistance to chemotherapy is a major hurdle in the successful application of cancer therapy. Several anticancer approaches, including chemotherapies, radiotherapy, surgery and targeted therapies are being employed for the treatment of cancer.

A Blend of F Prostaglandins Functions as an Attractive Sex Pheromone in Silver Carp

Fishes, 2019
A series of laboratory experiments tested the hypothesis that the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), an invasive river carp from China, employs a prostaglandin F2α-derived sex pheromone that is attractive and species-specific.

Prospects of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of pyometra in canine

Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction, 2020
Pyometra is one of the most common uterine pathologies of intact bitch at middle to advanced age. In the early stages, the disease shows subtle changes, making diagnosis a challenge.
