Abstract
Infusion of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) into dogs for 60 minutes at a rate of 1 microgram/kg/min produced a marked and rapid reduction in circulating eosinophils within 2 minutes, without any significant change in neutrophil count. Recovery was also rapid, with levels similar to those of a control group of dogs being reached 60 minutes after finishing the infusion. In dogs given PGD2 the hematocrit rose more rapidly than in the control group. The platelet count did not alter significantly.Entities:
