Prostaglandins in Swine Blastocysts

Uterine contractility in response to different prostaglandins: results from extracorporeally perfused non-pregnant swine uteri.

BACKGROUND Prostaglandins (PGs) are important stimulators of uterine contractility. Limited data are available at present on the effects of different PGs on uterine contractility, measured using intraluminal pressure changes in the complete uterus. The goal of this study was to assess dynamic changes in uterine contractility and peristalsis in response to PGs in comparison with the effects of o...

Prostaglandins

Knowledge of the structure and synthesis of antibodies (immunoglobulins) has developed to a remarkable degree in the last decade. Distinct classes of immunoglobulin (yG, yM, -yA, yD, yE, and their subgroups) have been identified and shown to consist of fixed numbers of light and heavy polypeptide chains organized in pairs. Each polypeptide has a segment of variable amino acid sequence; the spec...

Prostaglandins in human milk.

Human milk contains many different components which interact locally in the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate some systemic functions. Among these substances are prostaglandins. We obtained samples of foremilk and hindmilk in 8 lactating women by manual expression before and after 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on the 3rd day post partum. The following values were found for prostaglandin E2: foremilk, 16...
