A single meal has the potential to alter brain oxylipin content. [PDF]
, 2020 Our objective was to determine whether consumption of a single meal has the potential to alter brain oxylipin content. We examined the cerebrum of mice fed a single high-fat/high-sucrose Western meal or a low-fat/low-sucrose control meal, as well as ...

Prostaglandin F in the Fallopian Tube Secretion of the Ewe [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1978 Oviducal secretions were obtained from conscious unrestrained ewes throughout the oestrous cycle via indwelling cannulae and the content of prostaglandin F (pGF) was determined by radioimmunoassay. Levels of PGF of up to 230 ngjml were found in oviducal fluids obtained from ewes showing regular patterns of secretion and normal cyclical ovarian function

Prostaglandins and human lung carcinomas.
British Journal of Cancer, 1982 Lung primary carcinomas and normal tissue from 136 patients have been extracted for prostaglandins, and the findings examined in relation to histology. In most cases, tumours yielded more prostaglandin-like material (PG-lm), as judged by bioassay, than ...

Role of aldo-keto reductase enzymes in mediating the timing of parturition
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the initiation of parturition would provide an important step towards the development of more effective therapies for the prevention of pre-term labor and the associated neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Ixodes ricinus tick lipocalins: identification, cloning, phylogenetic analysis and biochemical characterization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: During their blood meal, ticks secrete a wide variety of proteins that interfere with their host's defense mechanisms. Among these proteins, lipocalins play a major role in the modulation of the inflammatory response.

Metabolism of Prostaglandin F2α in the Rabbit [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1972 [17,18‐3H2]Prostaglandin F2α was injected intravenously into female rabbits and the structures of six urinary metabolites were determined. The compounds were 5α, 7α,11‐trihydroxytetranorprost‐9‐en‐1,16‐dioic acid, 5α, 7α,11‐trihydroxytetranorprosta‐1,11‐dioic acid, 5α,7α‐dihydroxy‐11‐oxotetranorprosta‐1,16‐dioic acid, 5α,7α,11‐trihydroxytetranorprost‐9‐

Effects of arachidonic acid supplementation in maturation diet on female reproductive performance and larval quality of giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is one of the most farmed freshwater crustaceans in the world. Its global production has been stalling in the past decade due to the inconsistent quality of broodstock and hatchery-produced seeds.
