Biosynthesis of Prostaglandins from Arachidonic Acid in Guinea Pig Lung
Open accessAbstract
The prostaglandins constitute a class of physiologically active compounds with a widespread occurrence in animal tissues (see References 2 and 3). Previous studies have led to the determination of their structures (4-S), and more recent investigations have shown that they can be formed enzymatically from the essential fatty acids (7,8). It was thus shown that in homogenates of vesicular glands from sheep, prostaglandin El (PGEr)’ is formed from 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid (9, lo), PGEz from 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (7, S), and PGEa from 5,8,11, 14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (10). However, no PGF-compounds were detected. The experiments reported here, show that the biosynthesis of prostaglandins is not restricted to the vesicular gland, but it can also take place in homogenates of guinea pig lung. In this system, both PGF& and PGEz are formed from arachidonic acid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
