Prostaglandins in migraine: update.
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2013PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review presents recent findings on the role of prostaglandins in migraine pathophysiology. RECENT FINDINGS Experimental studies have shown that prostaglandins are distributed in the trigeminal-vascular system and its receptors ...

Prostaglandins: stimulation of bone resorption in tissue culture.
Endocrinology, 1970Prostaglandins (PG’s) stimulated resorption of fetal rat bone in 48–96 hr tissue culture. The effects of several PG’s were compared to the stimulation of bone resorption caused by parathyroid hormone (PTH).

Prostaglandins and thromboxanes.
Progress in Medicinal Chemistry, 1979Publisher Summary There is now a better understanding of the physiological role of prostaglandins. Major significance has been the discovery that aspirin, indoinethacin and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory agents probably exert their therapeutic ...

A discussion of important aspects of the effects of prostaglandins on arteries must include (a) the nature of the receptors for the different humoral agents, (b) the potential modulatory role that endogenously produced prostaglandins may play when other vasoactive hormones are present, and (c) the potential for cell-to-cell transfer of substrates for ...

The introduction of dinoprost tromethamine (Prostin F2 Alpha) as an abortifacient in the second trimester of pregnancy represents the first clinical use of a prostaglandin. Various synthetic analogues of the naturally occurring derivatives are being employed investigationally in the treatment of peptic ulcer, hypertension, asthma, and hypercalcemia. In

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biosynthesis of the prostaglandins. The enzyme system that catalyzes the conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids to prostaglandins has been named prostaglandin synthetase. It is found in many tissues but a particularly rich source is the sheep vesicular gland, homogenates of which were formerly used for ...

Prostaglandins, arachidonic acid, and inflammation.
Science, 1980The enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid has been shown to yield potent pathological agents by two major pathways. Those of the prostaglandin (PG) pathway, particularly PGE2, have been implicated as inflammatory mediators for many years. The discovery

Prostaglandins and Postmaturity
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1977Summary: Levels of E and F prostaglandins in amniotic fluid of patients with prolonged pregnancy have been compared with levels of patients in the last 4 weeks of normal pregnancy. The mean F prostaglandin levels in patients going past term (1,293.3 ± 332.87 pg/ml) were considerably lower than those going into spontaneous labour at term (4,276.71 ± 1 ...
