Abstract
Mammalian serum and plasma contain an endogenous inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase (EIPS). Human plasma fractions rich in EIPS show anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. In rats, glucocorticoids raise EIPS activity of plasma and serum. These findings suggest the existence of a natural mechanism of controlling prostaglandin synthesis, possibly related to corticosteroid action.Entities:
