J B Philips 3rd et al. Clin Perinatol. 1984 Oct.

Abstract

It is clear that prostaglandins and related compounds are important in the physiology and pathophysiology of the perinatal pulmonary circulation. This article focuses on what is known about prostaglandin-related compounds (PRC) in the pulmonary circulation of the developing and newly born mammal. Also included is a discussion of the effects of PRC on the ductus arteriosus and on the systemic circulation.
