Fasciola hepatica: increase of glycogen-phosphorylase activity due to prostaglandins
Both prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) stimulate the glycogen phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1.) activity of Fasciola hepatica. Whole or sliced parasites were incubated with PGE1 (2.8 × 10-7 and 2.8 × 10-5M) and PGF2α(2.1 × 10-7 and 2.1 × 10-

Review of articular cartilage repair techniques and their application in the horse
Abstract Articular cartilage lesions represent a significant career‐limiting problem in athletic horses. A healthy articular cartilage surface is vital for optimal joint function, and defects can result in irreversible degenerative changes. Successful treatment of cartilage lesions remains a long‐standing challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, prompting ...
