Cardiovascular effects of 15(S) 15 methyl-PGF2 alpha
Journal of Medicine
|January 1, 1982
Abstract:
The effects of 15(S) 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha were studied on the cardiovascular system of dogs. Intravenous and intravertebral artery administration of 15(S)-methyl-PGF 2 alpha induced arterial hypertensive and respiratory effects more intense and longer lasting than those observed for PGF2 alpha. Intravenous administration of 15(S) 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha induced a decrease of vascular reactivity to 1-norepinephrine and 1-epinephrine and to carotidal occlusion. Infiltration of the carotid sinus walls with 15(S) 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha decreased the baroreceptor reactivity.
