Abstract
The effects of several prostaglandins on lipoprotein lipase activity of mammary gland and adipose tissue and serum triacylglycerol were studied during late pregnancy in rats. Prostaglandins were injected twice daily for 2 days before and once on the day of analysis. In rats pregnant 20 days, prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) increased the activity of lipoprotein lipase in mammary gland fourfold, reduced the activity in adipose tissue about 60%, and decreased serum concentration of triacylglycerol 50%. PGF2α also reduced serum concentration of progesterone 90% and increased that of prolactin fivefold, but had no effect on serum concentrations of either immuno-reactive insulin or 17β-estradiol. Injections of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α, a metabolite of PGF2α, had similar effects in rats pregnant 20 days, whereas prostaglandins E1 and E2 did not. In rats pregnant 16 days, PGF2α did not affect lipoprotein lipase activity in the tissues or the concentration of triacylglycerol and prolactin in serum, although it decreased serum progesterone 80%.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
