Prostaglandins, Histamine and Platelet Activating Factor: Different Mediators in Dithranol-Induced Skin Damage
Dithranol is a potent agent in treating psoriasis but its adverse effects on intact skin have limited its usage. There are many proposed mediators for its adverse effects including prostaglandins, histamine, platelet activating factor and free radicals. In this study we examined the effect of different agents (diazepam, terfenadine, indomethacin and garlic extract) on dithranol-induced skin dam...
متن کاملVasodilatory prostaglandins in perinatal hypoxic brain damage.
Prostaglandin (PGE2 and PGI2) synthesis was determined in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of 19 hypoxic neonates at the age of 5-96 hours by using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Control group consisted of 8 children of the same age whose samples were taken due to initial suspicion of neonatal meningitis. The prostaglandin concentrations in CSF were correlated with ini...
متن کاملRenal function in fulminant hepatic failure: haemodynamics and renal prostaglandins.
Eighteen patients with fulminant liver failure were studied, 10 with normal renal function (group A) and eight with renal failure (group B, plasma creatinine greater than 200 mumol/l). Renal function was assessed by standard clearance techniques and patients in group B had a marked reduction compared with group A in both renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. Raised plasma renin acti...
متن کاملRenal vasodilation by converting enzyme inhibition. Role of renal prostaglandins.
The present study was designed to determine whether renal prostaglandins are involved in the renal vasodilation evoked by angiotensin II inhibition in sodium depletion. The converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI) captopril was administered to sodium-depleted control dogs and sodiumdepleted dogs that had previously received the inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis, indomethacin or meclofenamate. CEI ...
متن کاملRenal Effects of Prostaglandins and Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors
Prostaglandins (PGs) with best-defined renal functions are PGE2 and prostacyclin (PGI2). These vasodilatory PGs increase renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate under conditions associated with decreased actual or effective circulating volume, resulting in greater tubular flow and secretion of potassium. Under conditions of decreased renal perfusion, the production of renal PGs serves a...
