Enzymatic formation of prostamide F2α from anandamide involves a newly identified intermediate metabolite, prostamide H2

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Prostaglandin F2α 1-ethanolamide (prostamide F2α) is a potent ocular hypotensive agent in animals and represents a new class of fatty acid amide compounds.

Pyometra in Bitches Induces Elevated Plasma Endotoxin and Prostaglandin F_2α Metabolite Levels

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2006
Endotoxemia in bitches with pyometra can cause severe systemic effects directly or via the release of inflammatory mediators. Plasma endotoxin concentrations were measured in ten bitches suffering from pyometra with moderately to severely deteriorated ...

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]

, 2007
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.

Variation in plasma concentrations of oestradiol-17 beta and their relationship to those of progesterone, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F-2 alpha and oxytocin across pregnancy and at parturition in pony mares.

Journal of Reproduction and Fertility, 1988
Concentrations of plasma progesterone were similar to values reported in the literature except that a significant decrease in progesterone during the last day, but before parturition, was detected by systematic, high-intensity blood sampling.

Arachidonic acid metabolites in pathogenic yeasts

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2012
Although most of what is known about the biology and function of arachidonic acid metabolites comes from the study of mammalian biology, these compounds can also be produced by lower eukaryotes, including yeasts and other fungi.

Prostaglandin F concentration in serum of hens and cocks

Poultry Science, 1999
Prostaglandin F (PGF) concentrations in the serum of laying and nonlaying hens and of cocks at various times during a day were measured by radioimmunoassay. The serum concentration of PGF was higher in laying hens than in nonlaying hens or cocks without regard to time of day.

Changes in the concentrations of steroids and prostaglandin F in preovulatory follicles of the mare after administration of hCG.

Journal of Reproduction and Fertility, 1988
Fluid was aspirated from the preovulatory follicle of Group 1 mares (N = 6) when follicles reached 32-34 mm in diameter. Group 2 mares each received an i.v. injection of hCG when the preovulatory follicle reached 35 mm. Aspiration of follicular fluid was

Differential sensitivity of basal and acetylcholine-induced activity of nitric oxide to blockade by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in the rat aorta [PDF]

, 2010
<b>Background and purpose</b>: Previous work has shown that NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) paradoxically inhibits basal, but not ACh-stimulated activity of nitric oxide in rat aorta.

Elevated concentrations of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F-2 alpha in maternal plasma during prepartum luteolysis and parturition in dogs (Canis familiaris).

Journal of Reproduction and Fertility, 1988
Concentrations of progesterone and of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F-2 alpha (PGFM) were measured in plasma collected from 6 bitches every 3 h starting 2.8-4.6 days before parturition (birth of first pup) and continuing until 0.4-0.8 days post ...
