1. A sensitive and specific negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometric assay for the major urinary metabolite of PGD2 has been developed employing a chemically synthesized [18(0)4]-labelled internal standard. 2. The finding that increased urinary excretion of this metabolite occurs in a number of clinical situations suggests that the assay may prove to be a valuable tool to explore the role of PGD2 in the pathophysiology of human disease.

D008415 Mastocytosis A rare neoplastic disorder characterized by a clonal proliferation of MAST CELLS, associated with KIT-D816 mutations, and accompanied by aberrant mast cell activation. The abnormal increase of MAST CELLS may occur in only the skin (MASTOCYTOSIS, CUTANEOUS), in extracutaneous tissues involving multiple organs (MASTOCYTOSIS, SYSTEMIC), or in solid tumors (MASTOCYTOMA).
D009525 Niacin A water-soluble vitamin of the B complex occurring in various animal and plant tissues. It is required by the body for the formation of coenzymes NAD and NADP. It has PELLAGRA-curative, vasodilating, and antilipemic properties.
