Eicosanoids play an important role in the evaluation of pro-inflammatory responses and in the safety and toxicity of novel therapeutic agents. This work describes a high-throughput UFLCMS/MS method for the analysis of three urinary prostanoid biomarkers of pro-inflammatory responses, tetranor PGEm, 6-keto PGF(1alpha) and 2,3-dinor-6-keto PFG(1alpha). Nine male volunteers of various age and fitness level participated in this study. Six provided pre- and post-exercise samples and three provided intraday samples. Tetranor PGEm and 6-keto PGF(1alpha) increased significantly in patients after exercise (p<0.017 and p<0.029). In individual patient sets, tetranor PGEm levels increased from 1.5- to 6-fold pre- vs. post-exercise, levels of 6-keto PGF(1alpha) increased more dramatically from 2- to 55-fold pre- vs. post-exercise. The prostanoid 2,3-dinor-6-keto PGF(1alpha) remained unchanged post-exercise. Data was normalized to urinary creatinine concentration, which increased approximately 40% post-exercise.

Background: Oxidized lipid mediators such as eicosanoids play a central role in the inflammatory response associated with tuberculosis (TB) pathogenesis. Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to marked changes in lipid mediators in persons with TB. However, the associations between diabetes-related changes in lipid mediators and clearance of (Mtb) among persons on anti-TB treatment (ATT) are unknown.

We previously reported that female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have greater cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in the renal medulla and enhanced urinary excretion of prostaglandin (PG) E (PGE) metabolites compared to male SHR. Based on the role of COX-2-derived prostanoids in the regulation of cardiovascular health, the aim of the current study was to test the hypothesis that blood pressure (BP) in female SHR is more sensitive to COX-2 inhibition than in males. Seven week old male and female SHR were implanted with telemetry transmitters for continuous BP recording.

We hypothesise that molecules in the cyclooxygenase pathway affect platelet activity when seminal fluid (SF) is present. We considered the influence of SF on platelet aggregation in women, and believe that the prostanoids in SF signalling are significant. Thirty-one female subjects were studied, 20 of whom were sexually active.

The present study established the pattern of isoprostanes (IsoPs) and prostaglandins metabolites (PGMs) in urine after triathlon training. Fifteen Caucasian triathletes - 5 women and 10 men - performed 793 and 1603 Objective Load Scales, respectively. The optimization of urine hydrolysis conditions, concerning to the type of buffer, the units of hydrolytic enzyme added, and the pH, allowed precise quantification of these metabolites by UPLC-MS/MS, avoiding the under-estimation of their concentrations that occurred in previous studies.

Vascular cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-dependent prostacyclin (PGI(2)) may affect angiogenesis by preventing endothelial activation and platelet release of angiogenic factors present in platelet α-granules. Thus, a profound inhibition of COX-2-dependent PGI(2) might be associated with changes in circulating markers of angiogenesis. We aimed to address this issue by performing a clinical study with celecoxib in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
