Influence of age, sex and potassium excretion on urinary prostaglandins in children. 1985

A Barden, and L J Beilin, and R Vandongen, and I Rouse

Measurement of urinary 6-ketoprostaglandin (PG) F1 alpha and PGE2 excretion in 83 healthy children, aged 5-15 years, revealed that supervised 4 h urine collections under mild water diuresis provided more consistent results than overnight 12 h urine collections. Males had higher urinary excretion of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha but not of PGE2 compared with females. Urinary potassium was related to 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in both 4 and 12 h urine collections and urinary sodium to 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in 4 h collections only. In the sexes combined multiple regression analyses revealed age as the only significant influence on prostanoid excretion (P = 0.001). Thus age and sex and dietary potassium intake need to be considered in studies of urinary prostanoids in children.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
