...% fish oil supplementation (seven in each group), and were killed after 2 weeks of feeding. The ascending, descending and abdominal aortas as well as the pulmonary artery were harvested for analyses of prostanoid production, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase activity and cholesterol levels...

... of a significant renal production of any of these three prostanoids during endotoxaemia. In both groups, values of creatinine clearance were linearly correlated with simultaneous mean arterial pressure values after starting endotoxin infusion (group 1: creatinine clearance = 1.99 × mean arterial pressure −105, r...

Dexamethasone was administered to six healthy female volunteers for 4 days, resulting in plasma levels of 4.8 ± 1.4 × 10 −8 mol/l. Urinary excretions of six prostanoids as well...

... that hypertensive rats have enhanced ability to transform exogenous arachidonic acid into vasodilator prostanoids. This occurs both in spontaneous hypertension and in experimental renal hypertension. However, rats of the Okamoto strain appear to have reduced ability to form prostacyclin when compared with Sprague...
