Abstract
The effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha on the release of PGI2 and PGE2 was investigated in isolated perfused rat heart. PGF2 alpha at concentrations of 1.7 nmoles liter-1 or higher increased the release of PGI2 and PGE2 alpha. The release of PGI2 was highest after 3 to 4 min of perfusion with PGF2 alpha. This phenomenon may be of physiological significance and might explain the observed variable effects of PGF2 alpha on vascular resistance.
