in this paper a general discussion of the available data on the role of prostaglandin (pg) and phosphodiesterase is discussed. functional studies would be a next step to understand the functional meaning of the data described in this paper. the data presented are a basis for further research on selective modulation of the ep1 and ep2 receptor which could be a therapeutic target in functional bl...

statement of the problem: a major objective of investigators is to clarify the role of metabolites in achievement of maximum tooth movement with minimal root damage during orthodontic tooth movement (otm). purpose: the aim of this study was to determine the effect of administration of thyroid hormone, prostaglandin e2, and calcium on orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption in rats. mater...

Background: To evaluate the effect of an "escalation" topical glaucoma therapy by switching form prostaglandin mono to two different prostaglandin-timolol fixed combinations.

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 ...

the aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of stage of embryonic development, embryo quality and the time of transfer on pregnancy rate in embryo transfer program timed. we were worked a total of 23holsteincowsasembryo donors, super-ovulated with gonadotropin of pregnant mare serum (pmsg) (2500 3000ui).69 cows were used as recipients of holstein dairy heifers with an age of20 months and...

Three prostaglandin-metabolizing enzymes were detected in human serum. One enzyme was a dehydrase that converted prostaglandin E to prostaglandin A, the second was a prostaglandin A isomerase that converted prostaglandin A to prostaglandin C and the third was a prostaglandin C isomerase that converted prostaglandin C to prostaglandin B. All three were inactivated by sulfhydryl blocking agents. ...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of omega-3 supplementation on serum prostaglandin e2 in female athletes after a single bout of exhaustive exercsie. 22 female athletes (mean age 21.17±0.78 yr, body mass 21.24±2.32, vo2max 40.55±4.97) participated in study and divided into supplementation and placebo groups. supplementation subjects daily received an omega-3 capsule containing eic...
