Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by rat decidual microsomes
Abstract
The preparation of a microsomal fraction from the decidual tissue of pregnant rat uteri is described. Incubation of such microsomes with a mixture of radiolabelled and cold arachidonic acid (51 micrometer) plus cofactors resulted in a 30% substrate conversion. Products were resolved into four peaks (A, B, C and D) by thin-layer chromatography. Combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and further thin-layer chromatography identified the products as PGF2 alpha (A); thromboxane B2 (B); a mixture of 6-OXO PGF1 alpha and PGE2 (C); PGD2 and PGE2 (D). PGE2 was the major product.
