The effects of prostaglandins E2 (PGE2), I2 (PGI2) and F2α (PGF2α), arachidonic acid and indomethacin on pressor responses to norepinephrine were examined in conscious rats. Intravenously infused PGE2 (0.3, 1.25 μg/kg/min), PGI2 (50, 100 ng/kg/min), PGF2α (1.8, 5.4 μg/kg/min) and arachidonic acid (0.7, 1.4 mg/kg/min) did not change the basal blood pressure. Both PGE2 and PGI2 significantly attenuated pressor responses to norepinephrine, whereas PGF2α significantly potentiated them. Arachidonic acid, a precursor of the prostaglandins (PGs), significantly attenuated pressor responses to norepinephrine. Since the attenuating effect of arachidonic acid was completely abolished by the pretreatment with indomethacin (5 mg/kg), arachidonic acid is thought to exert an effect through its conversion to PGs. On the contrary, intravenously injected indomethacin (0.2–5.0 mg/kg) facilitated pressor responses to norepinephrine in a dose-related manner without any direct effect on the basal blood pressure. These results suggest that endogenous PGs may participate in the regulation of blood pressure by modulating pressor responses to norepinephrine in conscious rats. 相似文献

Abortion or delivery were induced by extra-amniotic instillation of Rivanol during the second trimester in twelve patients and during the third trimester in two patients with fetal death and one patient with fetal acrania. Serial sampling of amniotic fluid was performed through a transabdominal catheter and the levels of free arachidonic acid (AA), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) were determined. The levels of AA, PGF2α, PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 in amniotic fluid increased significantly during induction with the exception of AA in fetal death which was high and remained constant during induction. Furthermore, PGF2α, 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 were all significantly correlated to AA.These observations suggested that free AA is released during Rivanol-induction of abortion and labour giving an increased synthesis of PGF2α, PGE2 prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 in the fetal membranes and the decidua but not in the fetus. This increase might be relevant for the initiation and progress of abortion and labour in these patients. 相似文献

Metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) was studied in perfused lungs and kidneys of normal and atherosclerotic rabbits by determination of PGE2, PGF2α and the stable metabolites of PGI2 (6-keto-PGF1α) and TXA2 (TXB2). PGI2 was the main AA metabolite formed by normal lungs and kidneys. Atherosclerosis reduced the formation of PGI2 by about 50 % in both organs. TXA2 formation was similarily decreased in lungs. In kidneys, the decrease in PGI2 formation was accompanied by an increase in PGE2 formation. 相似文献

The relationship between high glucose concentrations and arachidonic acid metabolism in uterine tissue from control and diabetic ovariectomized rats was evaluated. Uterine tissue from diabetic rats produced amounts of PGE2 and PGF2α similar to controls, while a lower production of 6-keto-PGF1α (indicating the production of prostacyclin) and a higher production of TXB2 (indicating the generation of TXA2) was found in the diabetic group. A group of diabetic rats was treated with phlorizin to diminish plasma glucose levels. Phlorizin treatment did not alter production of PGE2, PGF2α, and 6-keto-PGF1α in the diabetic group. A diminished production of TXB2 was found in the treated diabetic uteri when compared to the non-treated diabetic group. Moreover, a positive correlation between plasma glucose levels and uterine TXB2 generation was observed. When control uterine tissue was exposed in vitro to high concentrations of glucose (22 mM) and compared to control tissue incubated in the presence of glucose 11 mM alterations in the generation of PGE2, PGF2α, and 6-keto-PGF1α were not found, but a higher production of TXB2 was observed and values were similar to those obtained in the diabetic tissue. Alteration in the production of the prostanoids evaluated were not observed when diabetic tissue was incubated in the presence of high concentrations of glucose. These results provide evidence of a direct relationship between plasma glucose levels and uterine production of TXA2. 相似文献

Non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) can significantly interfere with the radioimmunoassay of PGE and PGF2α using commercially available anti-sera. PGB1 antigen-antibody binding is 50% inhibited by 110 pg of PGB1, 48 ng of PGE1, 3.5 μg of PGF2α, or 9.0 μg linoleic, 14 μg arachidonic, 22 μg δ-linoleic, 40 μg palmitoleic or 45 μg oleic acids. PGF2α antigen-antibody binding is 50% inhibited by 270 pg of PGF2α, 70 ng of PGE1, or 4.2 μg arachidonic, 14 μg δ-linolenic, 22 μg linoleic, 70 μg palmitoleic or 110 μg oleic acids. Physiological levels of NEFA, such as the quantities found in small volumes of plasma, are sufficient to prohibit accurate prostaglandin measurements. Chromatography on small columns of silicic acid proved to be an effective technique for separation of NEFA and prostaglandin from lipid extracts, however, the results of this study suggest that the interference produced by the presence of NEFA in the measurement of prostaglandin from certain physiological fluids may be avoided if the prostaglandins are not extracted prior to radioimmunoassay. 相似文献

In newborn pigs, cerebral ischemia abolishes both increased cerebral prostanoid production and cerebral vasodilation in response to hypercapnia and hypotension. Attenuation of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase activity could account for the failure to increase prostanoid systhesis and loss of responses to these stimuli. To test this possibility, arachidonic acid (3,6, or 30μg/ml) was placed under cranial windows in newborn pigs that been exposed to 20 min of cerebral ischemia. The conversion to prostanoids and pial arteriolar responses to the arachidonic acid were measured. At all three concentration, arachidonic acid caused similar increases in pial arteriolar diameter in sham control piglets and piglets 1 hr postischemia. Topical arachidonic acid caused dosedependent increases of PGE2 in cortical periarachnoid cerebral spinal fluid. 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 only increased at the highest concentration of arachidonic acid (30 μg/ml). Cerebral ischemia did not decrease the conservation of any concentration of arachidonic acid to PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1α, or TXB2. We conclude that ischemia and subsequent reperfusion do not result in inhibition of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase in the newborn pig brain. Therefore, the mechanism for the impaired prostanoid production in response to hypercapnia and hypotension following cerebral ischemia appears to involve reduction in release of free arachidonic acid. 相似文献

Hydrocortisone (10 μg/ml) had no effect on the basal outputs and A23187-stimulated outputs of PGF2α, PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1α from the Day 15 guinea-pig uterus superfused
. These findings indicate that the high output of PGF2α from the guinea-pig uterus during the last one-third of the oestrous cycle is not modulated by the adrenal glucocorticoid hormones. Progesterone (10 gmg/ml) had no effect on the A23187-induced increases in PG output from the Day 15 guinea-pig uterus. However, oestradiol (10 gmg/ml but not 1 μg/ml) significantly reduced the increases in outputs of PGF2α, PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1α induced by A23187 from the Day 15 guinea-pig uterus, without affecting basal PG outputs. The increase in uterine tone induced by A23187 in the Day 15 guinea-pig uterus was reduced by 20–50% by oestradiol (10 μg/ml). The addition of oestradiol (10 μg/ml) and progesterone together (10 gmg/ml) produced the same effects on the Day 15 guinea-pig uterus as oestradiol alone. Oestradiol (10 μg/ml) also reduced the A23187-induced increases in PG output from the Day 7 guinea-pig uterus, but did not reduce the increase in uterine tone. Oestradiol (10 gmg/ml) reduced the increases in outputs of PGF2α, PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1α induced by exogenous arachidonic acid from the Day 7 and Day 15 guinea-pig uterus. Previous studies have shown that oestradiol is not a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor. The present findings suggest that oestradiol, at a relatively high concentration, may interfere with the access of arachidonic acid to the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme. This action of oestradiol may explain its anti-luteolytic action when administered to guinea-pigs in large doses after Day 9 of the cycle. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of prostaglandins by isolated epithelial glandular and stromal cells was studied after collagenase digestion of endometrium collected from women at various stages of the menstrual cycle. Homogenates of the separate cell types were incubated for 60 minutes with 2.08 μg 114C arachidonic acid and the products separated by thin layer chromatography. Both glandular and stromal homogenates synthesised PGF2α. More PGF2α was synthesised by glandular epithelium separated from both proliferative and secretory endometrium than by stroma. The ratio of PGF2α/PGE2 was greater in glands and stroma isolated from secretory than proliferative endometrium. Small but significant amounts of 6-keto-PGF1α were produced by all cell types. These results suggest that the increased synthesis of PGF2α from secretory endometrium is due, at least in part, to increased activity of cyclo-oxygenase enzyme in the glandular epithelium. 相似文献

We have investigated in vitro prostaglandin synthesis by human isolated glomeruli and papillary homogenates and compared the results with those obtained in parallel studies using rat material. Prostaglandins were measured by two methods, namely radiometric high performance liquid chromatography after incubation with 14C arachidonic acid and radioimmunoassay. The relative abundance of various prostaglandins synthesized by glomeruli was different in man (6 keto PGF1α > TXB2 > PGF2α > PGE2) and in the rat (PGE2 TXB2 > 6 keto PGF1α). Unidentified peaks eluting between 6 keto PGF1α and TXB2 were observed only in rat glomeruli. These peaks were suppressed by indomethacin. Direct radioimmunoassay of prostaglandins in the incubation medium of human glomeruli confirmed the predominance of 6 keto PGF1α synthesis and showed its stimulation by arachidonic acid, its progressive decrease with time and its linear relationship with glomerular protein at low concentrations. On the contrary, the profile of prostaglandin synthesis by the papilla was similar in man and in the rat, PGE2 and PGF2α being the major products in both species. However, related to one mg of protein, papillary synthesis of these two prostaglandins was greater in the rat. These results show that PGI2 is the major prostaglandin synthesized in human glomeruli and suggest a role for this prostaglandin in glomerular physiology in man. 相似文献

Prostaglandin biosynthesis was studied in the rat uterus during the oestrous cycle. Uterine homogenates were incubated for 20 minutes in the presence of exogenous substrate (2.10−5M). PGF2α and PGE2 were measured by R.I.A.. A sharp peak PGF2α and a smaller peak of PGE2 were observed at prooestrus, 20 h. Another small PGE2 peak occurred at dioestrus II, 15 h. The lowest values of both PGs were found on dioestrus, 15 h. Plasma oestradiol concentration were highest at proestrus, 15 h and 20 h. A sharp progesterone peak occurred at prooestrus, 20 h. The PGF2α peak is next to the oestradiol peak and is superimposable or lags slightly beyond the progesterone peak.Incubation with 14C arachidonic acid and subsequent analysis of extracts by TLC and scanning showed that the major metabolite is PGI2, identified as 6 keto PGF1α. The conversion rate of arachidonic acid into 6 keto PGF1α is 5 times higher than into PGF2α. 6 keto PGF1α was further identified by GC/MS. No significant difference was observed between 6 keto PGF1α production during oestrus and dioestrus. 相似文献

Background
Eicosapentaenoic acid-derived prostaglandin (PG) E3, PGF3α, and thromboxane (TX) B3 are bioactive lipid mediators which have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. To exert their effects, PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3 must be released to the extracellular space from cells, but the release mechanism has been unclear. We therefore investigated the contribution of ATP-binding cassette transporter C4 (ABCC4), which has been known as a prostanoids efflux transporter, to the release of PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3.Materials and Methods
ATP-dependent transport of PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3 via ABCC4 was investigated by using inside-out membrane vesicles prepared from ABCC4-overexpressing HEK293 cells. To evaluate the contribution of ABCC4 to the release of PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3, we measured the extracellular and intracellular levels of PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3 in A549 cells when we used ABCC4 inhibitors (dipyridamole, MK571, and probenecid) or ABCC4 siRNAs. The quantification of PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3 was performed by using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Results
The apparent Km values for ABCC4-mediated transport were 2.9±0.1 µM for PGE3, 12.1±1.3 µM for PGF3α, and 11.9±1.4 µM for TXB3 and the ATP-dependent accumulation of PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3 into vesicles was decreased by using typical substrates and inhibitors of ABCC4. ABCC4 inhibitors and ABCC4 knockdown showed the reduction of extracellular/intracellular ratio of PGE3 (40–60% of control) and PGF3α (60–80% of control) in A549 cells.Conclusions
Our results suggest that PGE3, PGF3α, and TXB3 are substrates of ABCC4 and ABCC4 partially contributes to the release of PGE3 and PGF3α. 相似文献12.

The effects of restricted diet (50% of the normal intake during 25 days) on the metabolism of 14U arachidonic acid, were explored in uterine horn strips isolated from intact and ovariectomized rats, treated by 17 β-estradiol or controls. The metabolism of arachidonic acid into different eicosanoids, PGE2, PGF2α, 6-keto PGF1α and TXB2, showed that the restricted diet diminished PGE2 and PGF2α, in intact rats, significantly. In contrast, this kind of feeding did not produce any change in castrated rats.Tissue preparations from previously estrogenized intact and castrated normal-fed rats showed that the production of different metabolites decreased. A similar result was obtained in intact rats subjected to a restricted diet. Nevertheless, in castrated underfed rats, estrogens did not produce any effect on the various eicosanoids analysed.These results showed that in isolated uteri, the effects of 17 β-estradiol, on metabolite production from labelled arachidonic acid, are different from controls in ovariectomized diet-restricted rats. 相似文献

Metabolism of arachidonic acid by caruncular and allantochorionic tissues in cows with retained fetal membranes (RFM) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) by caruncular and allantochorionic tissues and its regulation was studied in normal cows (n=13) and those with retained fetal membranes (RFM; n=9). Tissues were taken via the vagina about 6 hours postpartum and incubated for 6 hours in minimum essential medium containing tritiated AA alone or in the presence of oxytocin, platelet activating factor (PAF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) or ionophore calcium (A23187). The metabolites of AA were separated by reverse phase-high pressure-liquid chromatography. Tissue concentrations of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and plasma 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2α (PGFM) concentration were also measured by radioimmunoassay. For caruncular tissue, less thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and more 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (PGIM) was synthesized in tissue from the animals with RFM than in the controls. Oxytocin, PAF, EGF and A23187 increased only PGIM production in the control animals; A23187 also decreased TBX2 synthesis. For the allantochorion, more PGE2, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and PGIM and less TXB2, PGF2α and hydroxyecosatetranoic acids (HETE) was synthesized in tissue from cows with RFM than from animals that delivered normally. All of the substances used in this study increased PGIM, PGF2α and LTB4 and decreased TXB2 production by the allantochorionic tissue in control animals. The metabolism of AA by the allantochorionic tissue seems quantitatively under hormonal control. The metabolism of AA at the level of both maternal and fetal components of the placenta in cows with RFM differed from that seen in animals that expelled the membranes normally. 相似文献

The exogenous and endogenous syntheses of prostaglandins (PG's) by the cochlea of adult mongolian gerbils were studied
. After incubation of the whole membraneous cochlea with [3H]-arachidonic acid (AA), syntheses of PGF2α, 6-keto PGF1α, PGE2, thromboxane (TX) B2 and PGD2 were evidenced in this order. The synthesis of radioactive PG's was almost completely inhibited by incubation with 10−5 M indomethacin. No significant amounts of those PG's were detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in the cochlea obtained from animals killed by microwave irradiation at 5.0 kw for 0.8 sec. However, when the homogenate of the whole membraneous cochlea obtained from animals without microwave irradiation was incubated at 37°C for 0–15 min, PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α were found to be formed from endogenous AA in the cochlea by RIA. PG's were formed already at 0 time to considerable level (PGD2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α, 90–120 pg/cochlea; PGE2, 370 pg/cochlea), reached to the maximum level (PGD2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α, 170–200 pg/cochlea; PGE2, 500 pg/cochlea) at a 5-min incubation, and then gradually decreased. On the other hand, the amount of TXB2 was lower than the detection limit by RIA (<50 pg/cochlea) even after the incubation. The cochlea was dissected into three parts: organ of Corti + modiolus (OC + M), lateral wall (LW), and cochlear nerve (CN), and then PG's formed by these tissues were determined after a 5-min incubation of the homogenates. In the CN and OC + M, PGE2 was the major PG (100 and 160 pg/tissue, respectively), and the amounts of PGD2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α were about
of those of PGE2. In the LW, the amounts of PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α were about the same level (70–100 pg/LW). 相似文献

The developmental pattern of fetal and neonatal rabbit lungs to metabolize arachidonic acid (AA) to different cyclo-oxygenase products was studied in isolated rabbit lungs, which were perfused with Krebs bicarbonate buffer. 14C-AA (66 nmol) was injected into the pulmonary circulation and the nonrecirculating perfusion effluent was collected for four minutes. About ten per cent of the injected radioactivity was found in the 0–4 min perfusion effluent. The metabolites of AA in the effluent were analyzed by thin layer chromatography. The major metabolites of AA were PGE2 and its 15-keto-derivates, but also PGF2α and its 15-keto-derivates, TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α were found in the effluent. The most drastic developmental change was the increase in the amount of 15-keto-metabolites of PGE2 from late fetal period to the lungs of one day old rabbits (1.8 fold increase between birth and first postnatal day). Smaller changes were detected in the amounts of other cyclo-oxygenase products. 相似文献

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE2, PGD2, PGF2α, TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α. In all types studied PGE2 and TXB2 were the major products formed. The identification of PGE2 and TXB2 was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology. 相似文献

Prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and degradation were examined in different regions (epithelial versus non-epithelial structures) of the rat distal colon by both HPLC analysis of [14C] arachidonate (AA) metabolites and by specific radioimmunoassays. Intact isolated colonic epithelial cells synthesized mainly PGF2α and TXA2, as monitored from the formation of its stable degradation product TXB2 (PGF2α > TXB2 > 6-keto-PGF1α, the stable degradation product of PGI2=PGD2=PGE2=13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2α). The profile of PG products of isolated surface epithelial cells was identical to that of proliferative epithelial cells. However, generation of PGs by surface epithelium was 2 to 3-fold higher than by proliferative cells both basally and in the presence of a maximal stimulating concentration (0.1 mM) of AA. The latter implied a greater synthetic capacity of surface epithelium, rather than differences due to endogenous AA availability. The major sites of PG synthesis in colon clearly resided in submucosal structures; the residual colon devoid of epithelial cells accounted for at least 99% of the total PGs produced by intact distal colon. The profile of AA metabolites formed by submucosal structures also differed markedly from that of the epithelium. The dominant submucosal product was PGE2. PGE2 and its degradation product 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 accounted for 63% of the PG products formed by submucosal structures (PGE2 PGD2 > 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 > PGF2α=TXB2=6-keto-PGF1α > 13,14-dihydro- 15-keto-PGF2α). By contrast, epithelial cells, and particularly surface epithelium, contributed disproportionately to the PG degradative capacity of colon, as assessed from the metabolism of either PGE2 or PGF2α. When expressed as a percentage, epithelial cells accounted for 71% of total colonic PGE2 degradative capacity but only 23% of total colonic protein. Approximately 15% of [3H] PGE2 added to the serosal side of everted colonic loops crossed to the mucosal side intact. Thus, at least a portion of the PGE2 formed in the submucosa reaches, and thereby can potentially influence functions of the epithelium. 相似文献

Injection of γ-carrageenin into t he pleural cavity of rats caused the accumulation of the pleural exudate. When levels of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) B2 were quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as their methyl ester (ME)-dimethyllisopropylsilyl (DMiPS) ether or ME-methoxine-DMiPS ether derivatives, 6-keto-PGF1α reached the maximum at 1 hr after carrageenin, then PGE2 and TXB2 showed peaks at 3 hr and waned off before 9 hr. he PGF2α level was kept low, but PGD2, PGE1 and PGF1α were not detected. Aspirin (100 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly decreased the PG and TXB2 levels and suppressed the rate of plasma exudation until 5 hr, but did not at 7 hr, when it was measured by the amount of exuded pontamine sky blue injected intravenously. OKY-025 (300 mg/kg, i.p.), a selective TXA synthetase inhibitor, and tranylcypromine (20 mg/kg, i.p.), a PGI synthetase inhibitor, could not extensively inhibit the accumulation of the exudate. These results suggest that the cyclooxygenase products of arachidonic acid, particularly PGE2, definitely play an important role in the exudation during the first 5 hr. 相似文献

This study was conducted in vitro to examine factors that may regulate prostaglandin release by bovine trophoblast and endometrial slices. Trophoblastic tissues and endometrial slices were recovered from superovulating and normally-ovulating cattle on day 16 or 20 of pregnancy and incubated for 24 h. Release of PGF2α and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2α (PGMF), and incorporation of [14C]-leucine into proteins were quantified and expressed per μg DNA, which gives a measure of cellular activity. Activity of trophoblastic tissue for synthesizing protein was decreased (P<.05) and for releasing PGMF was increased (P<.05) on day 20 compared to day 16 of pregnancy. Neither supercovulation nor day of pregnancy altered trophoblastic activity for releasing PGF2α. Supercovulation increased (P<.05) endometrial release of PGF2α. Endometrial release of PGF2α was less (P<.05) on day 20 than on day 16 of pregnancy. When arachidonic acid (0, 100, 200 or 400 μg) was added at the start of incubation, trophoblastic release of PGF2α changed (P<.05) quadratically with dose of arachidonic acid. When arachidonic acid was added 8 h after the start of incubation, triphoblastic release of PGF2α increased linearly (P<.01) with dose of arachidonic acid. Adding arachidonic acid to incubation medium did not affect trophoblastic or endometrial protein synthesis. Endometrial slices suppressed (P<.05) trophoblastic protein synthesis and release of PGF2α. Apparently, endometrium can modulate trophoblastic release of prostaglandins and synthesis of proteins in vitro, and trophoblastic tissue from supercovulated cattle 16 or 20 days pregnant can be used to study trophoblastic synthesis of prostaglandins and proteins. 相似文献

Intact rings and homogenates of aorta from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) contain enhanced capacity over normal rats (NR) to convert arachidonic acid into PGI2. The PGI2 synthetic system in SHR is stimulated to a greater extent than NR by norepinephrine. Indomethacin blocks this stimulation. PGE2 and PGF2α were detected in much smaller amounts in homogenates (undetected in rings) but their formation was not enhanced by the hypertensive tissue. The identity of PGI2 was based on 1) direct pharmacological assay on the rat blood pressure. In this system identical vasodepressor responses to PGI2 are observed after intracarotid and intrajugular administration 2) indirectly as 6-keto PGF1α isolated after incubation of aortic homogenates with tritiated arachidonic acid and 3) indirectly by GC-MS assay of PGE2, PGF2α and 6-keto PGF1α formed during incubation of aortic homogenates with excess unlabeled arachidonic acid. These results provide additional support to our recent hypothesis that PGI2, of aortic origin, might actively participate in the regulation of systemic blood pressure. Its enhanced formation by intact hypertensive vascular tissue reflects an increase in the number of enzyme molecules immediately available to the substrate. This could probably be an adaptive response to the elevated levels of catecholamines in the circulation. 相似文献
