Metabolism of Prostaglandin F_2α in the Rabbit [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1972
[17,18‐3H2]Prostaglandin F2α was injected intravenously into female rabbits and the structures of six urinary metabolites were determined. The compounds were 5α, 7α,11‐trihydroxytetranorprost‐9‐en‐1,16‐dioic acid, 5α, 7α,11‐trihydroxytetranorprosta‐1,11‐dioic acid, 5α,7α‐dihydroxy‐11‐oxotetranorprosta‐1,16‐dioic acid, 5α,7α,11‐trihydroxytetranorprost‐9‐

Prostaglandin F-2 alpha is transferred from the uterus to the ovary in the sheep by lymphatic and blood vascular pathways.

Journal of Reproduction and Fertility, 1985
[3H]Prostaglandin F-2 alpha (PGF-2 alpha) was infused into a uterine lymphatic vessel or a uterine vein for up to 1 h, or injected into the uterine lumen of anaesthetized non-pregnant sheep 7-15 days after oestrus.

Female Type 1 Diabetic Akita Mice Demonstrate Increased Bladder Contractility via FP Receptor Activation due to NLRP3-Mediated Inflammation

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) is driven in part by inflammation which dysregulates prostaglandin release in the bladder. Precise inflammatory mechanisms responsible for such dysregulation have been elusive.

Molecular Characterization of a Novel Type of Prostamide/Prostaglandin F Synthase, Belonging to the Thioredoxin-like Superfamily*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
Prostaglandin F (PGF) ethanolamide (prostamide F) synthase, which catalyzed the reduction of prostamide H2 to prostamide F2α, was found in mouse and swine brain. The enzyme was purified from swine brain, and its amino acid sequence was defined. The mouse

Uterine luminal prostaglandin F in cycling mares

Prostaglandins, 1978
Prostaglandin F was measured by radioimmunoassay in uterine flushings of cycling mares on days 4, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 post-ovulation. Prostaglandin F was significantly (P less than .05) affected by day of the estrous cycle and reached maximal levels on day 14.

NaCl transport stimulates prostaglandin release in cultured renal epithelial (MDCK) cells [PDF]

, 1986
Prostaglandins (PGs) can modulate a variety of renal functions, including Na+ and Cl- reabsorption. However, it is not known if a direct interdependence exists between PG synthesis and transport activity. The present study was done to find out whether or

Release of prostaglandin F-2 alpha and the timing of events associated with luteolysis in ewes with oestrous cycles of different lengths.

Journal of Reproduction and Fertility, 1988
Ewes (N = 32) were bled every 2 h from 5 days before expected oestrus until the end of oestrus. Plasma concentrations were determined for progesterone to monitor luteal activity and for the prostaglandin F-2 alpha (PGF-2 alpha) metabolites, 15-keto-13,14-
