چکیده
5/3,7a-Dihydroxy-11-ketotetranor-prostanoic acid was the major metabolite excreted in the urine of guinea pigs injected with tritium-labeled prostaglandin E1, prostaglandin EP, 110~ ,15~-dihydroxy-9-ketoprost-5-enoic acid, lla-hydroxy-9,15-diketoprostanoic acid, and 11~hydroxy-9,15diketoprost-5-enoic acid. A method was developed for quantitative determination of 5p ,‘7cr-dihydroxy-l l -ketotetranor-prostanoic acid in 24hour samples of guinea pig urine. The basal excretion of the metabolite in 10 male guinea pigs was 1.34 to 2.74 fig per kg of body weight x 24 hours. Administration of 50 mg of indomethacin per day inhibited the excretion of the urinary metabolite by about 98 %.

It is a well-established fact that adenosine and its receptor subtypes (A 1 and A ) are involved in changes of contractility, heart rate and coronary blood flow (CBF) under different circumstances. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in development of these changes. For this purpose, Nitro-L-Arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and indomethacin as inhibit...

Thiazolidinediones are commonly used anti-diabetic drugs. Owing to the anti-inflammatory action of TZDs as a result of there action on the PPAR gamma receptor and a proposed action on the prostaglandins, these drugs can be tried in the acute exacerbations of COPD that are also commonly found among diabetic patients. An experimental study of one week was carried out at animal house of Army Medic...

Background: As increased outdoor activities of people, they are more exposed to UV radiation, which causes harmful effects on skin. Silymarin has protective potentials against DNA damage and non-melanoma skin cancers, and also it has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation characteristics. Nano formulation of plant material showed to be more effective than common ones. Object...
