Abstract

Prostaglandins occur naturally in lungs and in bronchial tissues. The presence of a lipid extract from normal lung, possessing smooth muscle stimulating activity, had been detected (1,2) some years before Bergström reported the structural formulas of the primary prostaglandins, isolated from sheep vesicular glands (3, 4) .
