The domestic animal endometrium undergoes regular periods of regeneration and degeneration during cycles of oestrus and dioestrus. If blastocyst implantation occurs in the uterus, the endometrium will prepare for pregnancy by changing its p…

Prostanoids, especially prostaglandin (PG) E(2), are important mediators of uterine relaxation and contractions during gestation and parturition. Inhibitors of PG formation as well as PG analogues are used to modulate uterine tonus. So far,…

Cytochrome P450 metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) was investigated in human peritoneal macrophages which play a central role in chronic pelvic diseases in women (for example in endometriosis). The formation of eicosanoids other than prost…

This study investigated whether the prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) enzyme activity of sheep fetal placental cotyledon can be induced by cortisol at 128-131 days of gestation (dga) as compared to gestational age matched controls, before PGH…

The role of prostaglandins (PGs) in dysmenorrhea of endometriosis is poorly understood. The relationship between dysmenorrheic severity and prostaglandin production was investigated in endometriosis. Slices of normal myometrium, adenomyosis…

In order to investigate the production of eicosanoids in human endometrium, myometrium, leiomyoma, adenomyosis, normal ovary, non-endometrial cyst and endometrial cyst, slices of each tissue were incubated. 6-Keto-prostaglandin (PG) F1 alph…

A relationship between the menstrual cycle, changes of bowel habits and concentrations of plasma prostaglandin (PG)E2, PGF2 alpha, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and thromboxane (TX)B2 in 3 groups of 8 women with different bowel habit were determined. T…

In order to investigate whether prostanoids are involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, prostaglandin and leukotriene concentrations in peritoneal fluid were measured in adenomyosis, ovarian chocolate cyst and uterine leiomyoma. I…

Fractionated curettage was performed in 18 women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Otherwise all appeared to be healthy. The histological examination showed 9 of them to have been sampled in the follicular phase and the other 9 in th…

Phospholipase A2 activity was measured in human myometrium obtained at hysterectomy in a group of 41 patients using a double isotope ratio assay based on the liberation of [14-C] oleic acid from 1-palmitoyl-2-[14-C] oleoyl phosphatidylcholi…
