Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) has been shown to mediate the metabolism of sex hormones and prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)), a lipid mediator that promotes skin inflammation in atopic dermatitis (AD). As both have a role in skin function and pathology, we

In homogenates of rat cerebral neocortex prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) was found to be quantitatively the main PG biosynthesized by a cytosolic PGD synthetase from endogenously released arachidonic acid. Amounts of 628 ng/g wet weight were found after 30-min incubation periods

Dazoxiben, a thromboxane synthase inhibitor, inhibits arachidonic acid induced aggregation in platelet-rich plasma from some donors only ("responders"). We have studied the effect of dazoxiben in vitro on platelet aggregation and prostaglandin (PG) metabolism and the influence of the incubation

Activation of the group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) population leads to production of the classical type 2 cytokines, thus promoting type 2 immunity. Chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on TH2 cells (CRTH2), a receptor for prostaglandin D₂ (PGD₂), is expressed

Prostaglandins, 9(1), 109-121 (1975-01-01)
Prostaglandin D2 was found to be a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Aggregation of human platelets by ADP, collagen and prostaglandin G2 was inhibited more strongly by PGD2 than by PGE1. Although ADP-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets was inhibited more
