| Scientific Background: | Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is formed in a variety of cells from PGH2, which itself is synthesized from arachidonic acid by the enzyme prostaglandin synthetase. PGF2α is often viewed as an antagonist to PGE2 due to their opposing effects on various tissues. PGF2α is a potent bronchoconstrictor and has been implicated in asthma attacks. PGF2α is also involved in reproductive functions including corpus luteum regulation, uterine contractions, and sperm motility. This has led to its use in terminating pregnancies and inducing labor at term. High levels of PGF2α have also been associated with preeclampsia. |
