Effect of glucocorticoids on arachidonate metabolism and prostaglandin secretion
1Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine Necker, Enfants Malades, Paris, France.
Abstract:
The effects of glucocorticoids on eicosanoid synthesis are briefly summarized and issues that remained unresolved or controversial are described. It is also suggested, in view of the present knowledge about the effects of sex steroids on uterine prostaglandin production, that common features may exist between these actions and those of anti-inflammatory steroids.
