The thermogenic activity of exogenous E and F prostaglandins in humans

A basic understanding of the physiologic effects of the prostaglandins on the human reproductive system has been one of the diverse scientific interests of Professor Axel Ingelman-Sundberg (19). Although the obvious clinical ultility of these ubiqitous compounds directed early attention to their therapeutic aspects, more recently there has been renewed interest in the basic physiologic mechanisms of the prostaglandins in reproductive medicine. Undoubtedly, the work of Dr Ingelman-Sundberg has stimulated many of his colleagues, students, and fellow scientists to pursue such basic studies in greater details.
