...Ulrike Zwergel; Thomas Zwergel; Manfred Ziegler An intact canine model was developed to study the effects of prostaglandins (PG) and prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors on acutely obstructed kidneys. Totally implanted nephrostomy tubes were placed to measure renal pelvic pressure. Complete ureteral...

...Takashi Morita; Masao Ando; Kazunori Kihara; Satoshi Kitahara; Kazuhiro Ishizaka; Takeshi Matsumura; Hiroyuki Oshima Prostaglandin (PG) E 1 E 2 and F 2α contracted smooth muscle strips from male adult rabbit urinary bladder. Contractile responses to each PG were significantly greater in urinary...

...Takashi Morita; Marcia A. Wheeler; Robert M. Weiss Contractile responses of urinary bladder muscle strips to prostaglandin (PG) E 1 , E 2 and F 2α were compared in young and old rabbits. All PGs tested caused an increase in contractile force of urinary bladder muscle strips from young (3 weeks...

...Shinji Mutoh; Shoichi Ueda; Shinjiro Yano; Keiichi Ikegami; Matao Sakanashi Effects of prostaglandins (PGs) E 1 ; E 2 and F 2Α on the vesical and urethral smooth muscles of dogs were isometrically investigated in vitro. In vesical smooth muscles, 10 ––8 –10 ––6 g PGE 1 /ml produced biphasic...

...M.C. Michailov; A.B. Murray; F. Zettler; H.W. Grindler-Greimel Marked differences were observed in the mechanical reactions of human and guinea pig vas deferens to prostaglandins, irradiation, and cooling. In human preparations prostaglandin E 1 (0.1–1 ng/ml) had an augmentory effect...

...F.M.J. Debruyne; C.M.G. Thomas This article gives a review of the current place of the different prostaglandins in the urogenital tract and urological pathology. Clinical as well as experimental data are analyzed. The conclusion is that prostaglandins play an important role in the physiology...

...Shinjiro Yano; Shoichi Ueda; Masaki Yoshida; Keiichi Ikegami Effects of prostaglandins (PGE 1 , PGE 2 , PGF 2Α , and PGI 2 ) on the isolated human minor calyceal strips were isometrically investigated in vitro. PGE 2 and PGF 2Α , 10 ––7 to 10 6 g/ml, increased the basal tone of spontaneous...

...D. Bach; H. Walker Although the discovery of prostaglandins (PGs) is to be attributed to investigations into the semen plasma and the accessory sex glands, it has been the female genital function and its relationship to the PGs rather than the male genital function which has been the subject...
