TLDR
The finding of low prostaglandin E content in seminal fluid compared with controls and noninvestigated infertile male partners (B) shows that the E compounds are important for reproduction.About:

19 – Human Sperm Competition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a contribution to the argument that sperm competition does occur in humans and has been a selective force in the evolution of certain human characteristics, such as promiscuous, polygynous, serially polygyny, or some mixture of these.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prostaglandin e1: a potential mediator of the inflammatory response
TL;DR: The effect of histamine releasers on the output of prostaglandins from rat diaphragms and endoqenous factors responsible for leucocyte emigration in vivo are studied.

19-HydroxyIated E prostaglandins as the major prostaglandins of human semen
P. L. Taylor,R. W. Kelly +1 more
TL;DR: A new approach for the measurement of the E prostaglandins is used, which involves protecting the unstable β-ketol system by oximation in the unextracted semen, thus ensuring minimal degradation to the A or B series.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contractile response of the human uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovary to prostaglandins in vivo.
TL;DR: The ability of PGE2 to induce relaxation of the tubes while stimulating uterine activity provides a clue as to why it is more effective in inducing abortion than PGF2alpha.

Regulation of muscular contractions in the human Fallopian tube through prostaglandins and progestagens
Kjell Wånggren,Kjell Wånggren,Anneli Stavreus-Evers,C. Olsson,Eva Andersson,Kristina Gemzell-Danielsson +5 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the transport of gametes and embryos involves the action of PGs, progesterone, oxytocin and hCG on muscular contractility.

Quantitative determination of prostaglandins in human semen

TL;DR: This short report describes in details a method for quantitative determination of PGE1 PGE2 PGE3 PGF1 alpha and PGF2 alpha in individual samples of human semen.

The effect of prostaglandin on the nonpregnant human uterus in vivo.
R. Eliasson,N. Posse +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of prostaglandin on the non-pregnant uterus was examined on 8 normal multiparous women, and it was shown that intravaginal application of PG showed an increase in uterine activity at ovulation and in some subjects an initial increase in activity at the onset of ovulation changed within 40 minutes to a clear inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for determination of prostaglandins in human seminal fluid
TL;DR: The recovery of the various prostaglandins was determined using 3 H-labelled compounds and the precision of the method was studied by repetitive analyses of a pool of seminal fluid from men with suspected infertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thin-layer chromatography and bioassay of prostaglandins in extracts of semen and tissues of the male reproductive tract
E. W. Horton,C. J. Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: No prostaglandins (minimal detectable concentration, 0.5 mug/g) could be detected in the male reproductive organs of several species of laboratory animal and the biological activity was estimated on the rabbit isolated jejunum and the hamster isolated colon preparations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative determination of the content of contractive substances in human sperm and their significance for the motility and vitality of the spermatozoa.
TL;DR: The total content of contractive substance in human sperm was determined from 155 specimens of sperm by titration on rabbit intestine in vitro, with prostaglandin as the standard.
