Journal Article

Immunological characterization of urinary 8-epi-prostaglandin F2 alpha excretion in man.

TL;DR: Preliminary results showed that excretion increased as a function of age, and an enzyme immunoassays and a radioimmunoassay were developed for measuring urinary concentrations of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha by raising antibodies against this compound.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased 8,12-iso-iPF2alpha-VI in Alzheimer's disease: correlation of a noninvasive index of lipid peroxidation with disease severity.

TL;DR: Elevated levels in the urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease that correlated with measures of cognitive and functional impairment, established biomarkers of AD pathology and the number of apolipoprotein E ε4 alleles suggest that 8,12‐iso‐iPF2α‐VI is a useful biomarker of oxidative damage in AD.

Enzymes and Receptors of Prostaglandin Pathways with Arachidonic Acid-derived Versus Eicosapentaenoic

TL;DR: In vitro specificities of prostanoid enzymes and receptors toward EPA-derived, 3-series versus AA- derived, 2-series prostanoids substrates and products are reported and biochemical data predict that increasing phospholipid EPA/AA ratios in cells would dampen prostanoidal signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclooxygenases, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1, and cardiovascular function

TL;DR: The results suggest that inhibitors of mPGES-1 may retain their antiinflammatory efficacy by depressing PGE(2), while avoiding the adverse cardiovascular consequences associated with PGHS-2-mediated PGI(2) suppression.
