[Effect of prostaglandins E1 and E2 on the internal carotid artery]. 1978

G I Mchedlishvili, and L G Ormotsadze

Experiments were conducted on the dog internal carotid artery (with circulatory isolation); the following peculiarities of the effects of the prostaglandins (PG) under study were revealed: PG-E1 caused either a constrictory or a dilatory effect, and PG-E1--a constrictory effect only; in the former case the artery became accustomed with repetition of the action, and in the latter case it did not become accustomed. The duration of the PG-E2 effects, particularly of relaxation, was much greater than of the serotonin effects; residual contraction of the vascular smooth muscles was frequent; PG-E1 and PG-E2 intensified the effects of serotonin, and, partially, of noradrenaline.

D008297 Male Males
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

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
D011459 Prostaglandins E, Synthetic Analogs or derivatives of prostaglandins E that do not occur naturally in the body. They do not include the product of the chemical synthesis of hormonal PGE.
