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.

Biochemical warfare on the reef: the role of glutathione transferases in consumer tolerance of dietary prostaglandins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Despite the profound variation among marine consumers in tolerance for allelochemically-rich foods, few studies have examined the biochemical adaptations underlying diet choice. Here we examine the role of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in

Roles of peroxinectin in PGE2-mediated cellular immunity in Spodoptera exigua. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Prostaglandins (PGs) mediate insect immune responses to infections and invasions. Although the presence of PGs has been confirmed in several insect species, their biosynthesis in insects remains a conundrum because orthologs of the mammalian ...

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.
