Stimulated release of arachidonate and prostaglandins is vectorial in MDCK epithelial cells

, 2018
The receptor mediated activation of phospholipase A2by appropriate ligands results in the synthesis and release of eicosanoids, a class of potent bioregulatory molecules.

Altered productions of prostaglandins and prostamides by human amnion in response to infectious and inflammatory stimuli identified by mutliplex mass spectrometry

, 2020
Introduction: Prostaglandins are critical for the onset and progression of labor in mammals, and are formed by the metabolism of arachidonic acid. The products of arachidonic acid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), and anandamide (AEA) have a similar lipid ...

Selective changes of docosahexaenoic acid-containing phospholipid molecular species in monkey testis during puberty

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Puberty has a profound effect upon the biochemical composition of the testis. We previously demonstrated that puberty was accompanied by great increases in the content of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 n-3) and dihomogamma-linoleic acid (20:3 n-6) and ...

Chain length specificity for activation of cPLA2α by C1P: use of the dodecane delivery system to determine lipid-specific effects

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Previously, our laboratory demonstrated that ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) specifically activated group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) in vitro. In this study, we investigated the chain length specificity of this interaction. C1P with an acyl-chain

Prostaglandins - A Promising Future [PDF]

, 1974
Prostaglandins were discovered almost forty years ago, but their elucidation physiologically is in its infancy today. It was only in 1957 that the first prostaglandin, PGF1-alpha, was crystallized from sheep seminal vesicles.

Physiological and pathophysiological aspects of cardiac prostaglandins

, 1983
It has now been demonstrated that prostaglandins produce a wide variety of actions on cardiac tissue. These effects are quite complex and are dependent on such factors as type of prostaglandin, animal species, experimental format, as well as the amount ...
