Collision-Induced Gas-Phase Reactions of PFB-TMS Derivatives of F2-Prostaglandins in Quadrupole GC-NICI-MS/MS: A Mini-Review and a Meta-Analysis [PDF]
MoleculesArachidonic acid (eicosatetraenoic acid) is the precursor of the eicosanoids, which include prostaglandins (PG). Methods based on GC-MS/MS are the Gold Standard for the quantitative analysis of eicosanoids in biological samples.

PROSTAGLANDINS F AND OVULATION IN MICE [PDF]
Reproduction, 1974 Prostaglandins (PGs) are known to exert profound physiological and pharmacological effects on the female reproductive system in women and in many other species (Weeks, 1972; Labhsetwar, 1974). Indomethacin and aspirin, inhibitors of prostaglandin biosynthesis, block PMSG-induced ovulation in immature (Armstrong & Grinwich, 1972; Orczyk & Behrman, 1972)

Prostaglandins E and F in Endocrine Diarrheagenic Syndromes
Annals of Surgery, 1976 The role of prostaglandins in endocrine diarrheagenic syndromes was evaluated by measuring peripheral concentration of immunoreactive PGE and PGF in patients with non-endocrine diarrhea as well as those with the Zollinger-Ellison (Z-E) syndrome, MCT, carcinoid tumors and the WDHA syndrome. In 21 normals, PGE and PGF levels averaged 272 +/- 18 and 119 +/

Improved de novo production of prostaglandin F2α from glucose with engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strains [PDF]
Communications BiologyProstaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is an important lipid mediator with diverse physiological activities, but its reliance on chemical synthesis presents challenges and limitations, driving the need for efficient microbial fermentation.

A heterogeneous mixture of F-series prostaglandins promotes sperm guidance in the Caenorhabditis elegans reproductive tract. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 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 ...

Hypothyroidism Affects Uterine Function via the Modulation of Prostaglandin Signaling
Animals, 2021 Thyroid hormones control the functions of almost all body systems. Reproductive dysfunctions, such as abnormal sexual development, infertility, or irregularities in the reproductive cycle, might be associated with thyroid disorders.

Insights into the prostanoid pathway in the ovary development of the penaeid shrimp Penaeus monodon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The prostanoid pathway converts polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into bioactive lipid mediators, including prostaglandins, thromboxanes and prostacyclins, all of which play vital roles in the immune and reproductive systems in most animal phyla.

Inflamm-aging and arachadonic acid metabolite differences with stage of tendon disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The contribution of inflammation to the pathogenesis of tendinopathy and high prevalence of re-injury is not well established, although recent evidence suggests involvement of prostaglandins.
