Prostaglandin H(2) (PGH(2)) formed from arachidonic acid is an unstable intermediate and is efficiently converted into more stable arachidonate metabolites (PGD(2), PGE(2), and PGF(2)) by the action of three groups of enzymes. Prostaglandin F synthase (PGFS) was first purified from bovine lung and
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of
prostaglandin F 2 alpha (PGF
2α) in hysteroscopic myomectomy of submucous myomas.
A single-blind, randomized clinical trial study.A teaching hospital, affiliate of Iran University ofOBJECTIVE
Amniotic fluid infection promotes cytokine release, prostaglandin production, and premature labor. In several tissues local hypoxia also activates the secretion of cytokines. Many patients initially seen in premature labor carry small-for-gestational-age fetuses, a condition associated
Change in morphology of the corpus luteum (CL) and patterns of progesterone and estradiol secretion after treatment with melengestrol acetate (MGA) were monitored in postpartum beef cows. Twenty Angus cows were randomly assigned to MGA or MGA + prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF) treatments. All cows were
Although it is known that prostaglandin (PG) F2α level is elevated in the plasma of patients with sepsis, the roles of PGF2α is still unknown. We aimed to clarify the roles of PGF2α in the regulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation. At 24
The 3.0-A-resolution x-ray structure of rat liver 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSD, EC 1.1.1.50) was determined by molecular replacement using human placental aldose reductase as the search model. The protein folds into an alpha/beta or triose-phosphate
The aims of this study were to determine the effects of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1α), nitric oxide donor (NONOate), or the combination of TNF + IL-1α + NONOate on the following: (i) secretion of prostaglandin (PG)-F(2α), PGE(2), leukotriene
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of short-term progesterone (P4) supplementation during the early metoestrous period on circulating P4 concentrations and conceptus development in cattle. The oestrous cycles of cross-bred beef heifers were synchronised using a 7-day
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of one-step total hysteroscopic myomectomy using prostaglandin F(2alpha).
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
A 38-year-old woman with a sessile submucous leiomyoma.
METHODS
Hysteroresectoscopy using an intraoperative injection of prostaglandin
We utilized the chronically catheterized bovine fetus to compare maternal and fetal responses to maternal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infusion. Our hypothesis was that LPS-induced abortion was primarily a maternal luteolytic event with minimal transplacental fetal exposure. Fetal tibial arteries,
As a model to examine the pathophysiologic attributes of endometriosis, attempts were made to surgically induce the disease in the rat by autotransplanting endometrial or uterine tissue to the peritoneum. Rats (n = 46) were randomly assigned to one of four surgical techniques: (1) four uterine
The pharmacological profile of the analgesic agent, 1-[(4, 5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-thiazoyl)carbonyl]-4-methylpiperazine hydrochloride (FR122047), was investigated. In recombinant human cyclooxygenase enzyme assays, the inhibition of prostaglandin E(2) formation by FR122047 was 2300 times more
BACKGROUND
Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum induces peritoneal oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of intra-abdominal pressure on oxidative stress in the peritoneum and on post-operative adhesion formation.
METHODS
Forty-one rabbits underwent laparoscopic surgery: either
