Words similar to prostanoid
Example sentences for: prostanoid
How can you use “prostanoid” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Gonadotropin-induced progesterone production is attenuated by PGF 2α treatment, but this prostanoid does not activate apoptosis of bovine steroidogenic cells in vitro [ 8 ] . These findings helped develop the concept that additional factors, such as immune cells [ 5 6 7 ] or cytokines [ 7 8 ] , contribute to the luteolytic process.
The relative position of the intron to the coding regions is also identical to that found in the human TP, the human and mouse DP, and the human EP 1 gene [ 2 ] . This provides further evidence that the prostanoid receptor family arose from a common ancestral gene.
A prolonged half time to recovery has been associated with a decreased nitric oxide and prostanoid production [ 8 ] and a loss of endothelium dependent vasodilation [ 9 ] . Reduced vascular reactivity is associated with many diseases that are associated with aging [ 15 16 17 ] . We did not find activity effects on half time to recovery.
Many cell types, including lung fibroblasts, contain cyclooxygenase (COX), a proximal enzyme in prostanoid production, and can generate prostanoids [ 19 ] . It has been previously reported that IPF lung fibroblasts have decreased COX-2 expression compared to normal lung fibroblasts and, hence, have decreased PGE 2 production [ 12 20 21 ] . Because of these findings and the fact that PGs are important fibroblast regulators, we sought to investigate whether abnormalities in COX-2 expression could be associated with an altered balance between profibrotic and antifibrotic PGs.
