Developmental changes in prostaglandin E(2) receptor subtypes in porcine ductus arteriosus. Possible contribution in altered responsiveness to prostaglandin E(2)
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is important in ductus arteriosus (DA) patency, but the types of functional PGE(2) receptors (EP) in the developing DA are not known. We postulated that age-dependent alterations in EP and/or their subtypes may possibly contribute to the reduced responsiveness of the newb...

Zusammenfassung: | Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is important in ductus arteriosus (DA) patency, but the types of functional PGE(2) receptors (EP) in the developing DA are not known. We postulated that age-dependent alterations in EP and/or their subtypes may possibly contribute to the reduced responsiveness of the newborn DA to PGE(2).
We determined PGE(2) receptor subtypes by competition binding and immunoblot studies on the DA of fetal ( approximately 75% and 90% gestation) and newborn ( |
