Rat pulp tissue contained an appreciable amount of prostaglandins, but sex and age-dependent differences in their concentration were not observed. Pulp tissue released prostaglandins into the incubation medium and indomethacin inhibited the release significantly. Radiochemical studies could not demonstrate the biosynthesis and metabolism of prostaglandins in pulp tissue homogenates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
