Selective Neuromicrovascular Endothelial Cell Death by 8-Iso-Prostaglandin F2α

Selective neuromicrovascular endothelial cell death by 8-Iso-prostaglandin F2alpha: possible role in ischemic brain injury.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Free radical-induced peroxidation is an important factor in the genesis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, including that of the preterm infant. Isoprostanes are major peroxidation products. Since microvascular dysfunction seems to contribute to ischemic encephalopathies, we studied the cytotoxicity of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) on cerebral microvascular cel...

8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α: a possible trigger or accelerator of diabetic retinopathy.

Increased levels of the oxidative stress biomarker 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α in wastewater associated with tobacco use

Wastewater analysis has been demonstrated to be a complementary approach for assessing the overall patterns of drug use by a population while the full potential of wastewater-based epidemiology has yet to be explored. F2-isoprostanes are a prototype wastewater biomarker to study the cumulative oxidative stress at a community level. In this work, 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) was analyse...

Inverse correlation between serum adiponectin and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

This study was set out to determine the association of serum adiponectin and oxidative stress in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. 106 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were recruited. Simultaneously scanning of the extracranial carotid arteries, common iliac arteries and femoral arteries were performed for measurement of intima media thickness (IMT) in all subjects. Atheros...

8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α stimulates chloride transport in thick ascending limbs: role of cAMP and protein kinase A.

Salt reabsorption by the loop of Henle controls NaCl handling and blood pressure regulation. Increased oxidative stress stimulates NaCl transport in one specific segment of the loop of Henle called the thick ascending limb (TAL). The isoprostane 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) is one of the most abundant nonenzymatic lipid oxidation products and has been implicated in the development of h...
