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 ...

Chemistry of Prostaglandins and Thromboxanes [PDF]
, 1977 The structures of several prostaglandins were determined during the early 1960’s. First, two biologically active compounds were isolated from sheep vesicular glands; these compounds were called PGE1 and PGF1α (for a review, see Ref. 1). Reduction of PGE1

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.

GENETIC MODIFICATION OF SOME Saccharomyces cerevisiae STRAINS TO INCREASE UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS PRODUCTION [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2010 Fatty acids are main important for building prostaglandins, which are necessary for several body processes, including dilation of blood vessels, cholesterol metabolization and other critical bio-chemical functions and physiological reaction.

Preparation of Prostaglandin F from Prostaglandin E. Prostaglandins and Related Factors. 6. [PDF]
Acta Chemica Scandinavica, 1962 Reduction of prostaglandin E (PGE) with sodium borohydride yielded 2 compounds 1 of which is identical with PGF isolated from the prostate of sheep and the other of which had different physical and biological properties but the same elementary composition. The former was designated PGF1 and the latter PGF2.

A Blend of F Prostaglandins Functions as an Attractive Sex Pheromone in Silver Carp
Fishes, 2019 A series of laboratory experiments tested the hypothesis that the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), an invasive river carp from China, employs a prostaglandin F2α-derived sex pheromone that is attractive and species-specific.

Prostaglandins in human milk [PDF]
, 1980 Prostaglandins E and F have been shown to be present in breast milk in over 100 times the concentrations found in adult plasma. The ratio of the concentration of the principal circulating metabolite of prostaglandin F (13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin ...
