Dehydration of prostaglandins: study by spectroscopic method
Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 The ultraviolet (UV) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) spectra of prostaglandins E1, A1, B1, and their naturally derived 15-epimers are presented.

Prostaglandins in biofluids in pregnancy and labour: A systematic review.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Prostaglandins are thought to be important mediators in the initiation of human labour, however the evidence supporting this is not entirely clear. Determining how, and which, prostaglandins change during pregnancy and labour may provide insight into ...

The Roles of Various Prostaglandins in Fibrosis: A Review
Biomolecules, 2021 Organ fibrosis is a common pathological result of various chronic diseases with multiple causes. Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and eventually leads to the destruction of the tissue structure and impaired ...

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020 Arachidonic acid-derived prostaglandins not only contribute to the development of inflammation as intercellular pro-inflammatory mediators, but also promote the excitability of the peripheral somatosensory system, contributing to pain exacerbation ...

The Role of Prostaglandins in Different Types of Cancer
Cells, 2021 The prostaglandins constitute a family of lipids of 20 carbon atoms that derive from polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid. Traditionally, prostaglandins have been linked to inflammation, female reproductive cycle, vasodilation, or ...

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 in Induction of Labour
National Journal of Medical Research, 2022 Prostaglandins are naturally occurring hormones that play a significant role in the commencement of labour. Prostaglandins have been utilised in clinical practise to ripen the cervix and elicit uterine contractions synthetically since the 1960s.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The sperm-specific Ca2+ channel CatSper registers chemical cues that assist human sperm to fertilize the egg. Prime examples are progesterone and prostaglandin E1 that activate CatSper without involving classical nuclear and G protein-coupled receptors ...

Modeling of biological doses and mechanical effects on bone transduction [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 274, 1 (2011) 36-42, 2011 Shear stress, hormones like parathyroid and mineral elements like calcium mediate the amplitude of stimulus signal which affects the rate of bone remodeling. The current study investigates the theoretical effects of different metabolic doses in stimulus signal level on bone.
