Prostaglandin synthesis in rat adrenocortical cells.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1979 The biosynthesis of prostaglandins by isolated rat adrenocortical cells has been studied by determinations of products formed during incubations with labeled arachidonic acid and by radioimmunoassays.

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.

The Lancet, 1968 Observations from 1930 to 1934 have indicated autopharmacological effects of human seminal fluid. The active principle was shown to be an unsaturated lipid‐soluble acid. After isolation in 1960 of two closely related compounds, the chemical constitution was established.

Outpatient vs inpatient induction of labor with oral misoprostol: A retrospective study
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2023 Introduction Induction of labor is one of the most common obstetrical procedures today, with a successively rising rate. With a limited number of hospital beds, the option of starting induction at home has gained increasing attention.

Antioxidants, 2022 Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme in prostanoid biosynthesis. The constitutive hepatocyte expression of COX-2 has a protective role in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (IRI), decreasing necrosis, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS ...

Misidentification of prostamides as prostaglandins
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Prostaglandins and endogenous cannabinoid metabolites share the same lipid backbone with differing polar head groups at exactly the position through which a large molecule is attached to provide antigenicity and thus raise antisera.

Cyclopentenone Prostaglandins: Biologically Active Lipid Mediators Targeting Inflammation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 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 ...
