Role of Prostaglandin in Reproductive Physiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of prostaglandin in reproductive physiology is reviewed with particular emphasis on their possible importance in ovulation in humans. A possible interaction between gonadal steroids, biogenic amines and prostaglandin at hypothalamic-pituitary level, in relation to the release of luteinizing hormone releasing factor, and LH release are noted, and it is suggested that high oestrogen level may release prostaglandin from the uterus and centrally in humans .in connection with the mid-cycle LH surge and ovulation. Prostaglandin are a group of lipid compound that are derived enzymatically from fatty acids and have important function in the body.

In this study, we aimed to investigate reproductive performance in estrus-induced Zandi ewes treated with equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) injection in combination with prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α)and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) during non-breeding season. The estrous cycle was synchronized using controlled internal drug release (CIDR) for 12 days. The ewes were randomly assigned to...

Objective(s): Prostaglandins have been shown to mediate the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) but effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of prostaglandin E2 receptors (EP1, 3-4; EPs) has not been investigated. Therefore, this study designed to evaluate the effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of EPs receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid ...

Objective(s): Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the most common outcome of a collection of diverse lung disorders known as interstitial lung diseases. It is proposed that alterations in the levels of fibrogenic mediators and the profibrotic/antifibrotic imbalance play a substantial role in the progression of PF in animal models and possibly in humans. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an...

The present study aimed to determine the effect of administrating prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and GnRH at the time of artificial insemination (AI) on the pregnancy per artificial insemination (P/AI) and the pregnancy survival rate of dairy cows. A number of 830 lactating Holstein cows were randomly divided into four groups. Cows in group 1 (n=200) treated with 150 µg d-cloprostenol. In group 2 (n...
متن کاملDifferential COX localization and PG release in Thy-1(+) and Thy-1(-) human female reproductive tract fibroblasts.
A key role exists for prostaglandins (PGs) in reproductive health, including fertility and parturition. However, the cellular sources and regulation of PG production by cyclooxygenase (COX) in the human female reproductive tract remain poorly understood. We recently reported that human female reproductive tract fibroblasts are divisible into distinct subsets based on their Thy-1 surface express...
