Prostaglandin Receptors Involved in Inflammatory Events

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 400))

Abstract

Prostaglandin E2 is released at the site of an inflammatory response, but the consequences are not always easy to predict. This is because both pro- and anti-inflammatory actions of PGE2 can be demonstrated in different experimental models (1). Following from our studies on the characterization of PGE (EP-) receptor subtypes in smooth muscle preparations (2,3), we decided to investigate the nature of the receptors mediating the pro- and anti-inflammatory actions of PGE2 and its analogues.
