Biochem/physiol Actions

Luteolytic prostaglandin that induces parturition. Potent vasoconstrictor of pulmonary, coronary, and cerebral arteriole beds. A positive feedback loop between endometrial PG F and luteal oxytocin is responsible for completion of luteolysis.
Luteolytic prostaglandin that induces parturition. Potent vasoconstrictor of pulmonary, coronary, and cerebral arteriole beds. Also stimulates contraction of smooth muscle, such as in bronchi, with possible involvement in asthma. This effect is at least partially mediated through tachykinin release.
Prostaglandin F2α is induced by uterine-produced oxytocin and acts on the corpus luteum to cause luteolysis and inhibit progesterone production.

Advanced maternal age of first time pregnant mothers is associated with prolonged and dysfunctional labor and significant risk of emergency cesarean section. We investigated the influence of maternal age on myometrial contractility, expression of contractile associated proteins (CAPs), and global

Pro-inflammatory mediators, like prostaglandin (PG) and chemokines, promote tumourigenesis by enhancing cell proliferation, migration of immune cells and recruitment of blood vessels. Recently we showed elevated expression of the chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) in endometrial adenocarcinomas localized to
