Role of Prostaglandins in Neuroinflammatory and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Increasing data demonstrates that inflammation participates in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. Among the different inflammatory mediators involved, prostaglandins play an important role.

Prostaglandins in biofluids in pregnancy and labour: A systematic review.
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 ...

A heterogeneous mixture of F-series prostaglandins promotes sperm guidance in the Caenorhabditis elegans reproductive tract. [PDF]
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 ...

Cyclopentenone Prostaglandins: Biologically Active Lipid Mediators Targeting Inflammation
Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (cyPGs) are biologically active lipid mediators, including PGA2, PGA1, PGJ2, and its metabolites. cyPGs are essential regulators of inflammation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell migration, and stem cell ...

In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Prostaglandins in Marine Organisms: A Review
Prostaglandins (PGs) are lipid mediators belonging to the eicosanoid family. PGs were first discovered in mammals where they are key players in a great variety of physiological and pathological processes, for instance muscle and blood vessel tone ...

Modeling of biological doses and mechanical effects on bone transduction [PDF]
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.

Prostaglandins in Induction of Labour
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.

Preparation and Chiral HPLC Separation of the Enantiomeric Forms of Natural Prostaglandins
Four enantiomeric forms of natural prostaglandins, ent-PGF2α ((−)-1), ent-PGE2 ((+)-2) ent-PGF1α ((−)-3), and ent-PGE1 ((+)-4) have been synthetized in gram scale by Corey synthesis used in the prostaglandin plants of CHINOIN, Budapest.
