Identification of prostaglandins in prevertebral venous blood after preganglionic stimulation of the cat superior cervical ganglion

PMCID: PMC1665752  PMID: 5165588

Abstract

1. In four out of seven experiments, prostaglandin-like activity was detected in prevertebral venous blood from the superior cervical ganglion, collected during and after preganglionic nerve stimulation.

2. Prostaglandins E1, E2, F2α and a prostaglandin A were identified using solvent partition, column and thin-layer chromatography and bioassay techniques.

3. The release of PGF2α was confirmed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
