인삼의 효과는 인삼칠효설로 요약되듯이 각종 장기에 대하여 다양한 약리작용을 나타낸다. 이는 인삼의 약리작용을 중개하는 생체내 생리활성물질의 존재를 생각하게 되며 이같이 생리활성물질을 하나로 prostaglandin을 들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인삼성분이 prostaglandin 등 arachidonic acid 대사산물 생성에 미치는 영향을 실험함으로써 인삼의 약리학적 작용과 그 기전을 간접적으로 구명하고자 하였다. 즉 $[^{3}H]$-arachidonic acid를 기질로 넣어주고 토끼 신장 microsome, 소 대동맥 microsome, 사람 혈소판 homogenate 등을 효소원으로 한 in vitro 생합성과정에 변화를 주는 수종 인삼 saponin 및 phenolic acid 성분의 효과를 검정하였다. 실험에 사용한 인삼 saponin 성분은 panaxadiol, panaxatriol 및 protopanaxadio 계 saponin 류인 ginsenoside $Rb_{2}(G-Rb_{2})$, ginsenoside Rc(G-Rc) 및 protopanaxatriol 계 saponin류인 ginsenoside Re(G-Re) 이었고 이들 성분이 arachidonic acid로부터 cyclooxygenase를 통해 최종 대사산물인 prostaglandin 류를 생성하는 과정에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Arachidonic acid 로부터 생성된 총 cyclooxygenase 반응생성물 및 malondialdehyde의 양은 실험에 사용한 인삼 saponin 성분의 전 농도 범위에서 유의적인 변화를 보이지 않았는데 이는 인삼 saponin 성분들은 cyclooxygenase에 직접 작용하지 않는다는 것을 설명해 준다. 2. Panaxadiol (500 ${\mu}g/ml$은 $PGE_{2}$ 생성에는 영향이 없으나 $PGF_{2}{\alpha}$생성에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않으나 농도의존적으로 $TxB_{2}$의 생성을 감소시켰고 6-keto-$PGF_{1}{\alpha}$의 생성을 증가시켰는데 이는 $TxA_{2}$ synthetase 억제제인 imidazole의 효과와 유사하였다. 4. G-Re는 $1{\times}10^{-5}g/ml$ 이하의 농도에서는 효과가 없으나 $1{\times}10^{-4}g/ml$ 이상의 농도에서 농도의존적으로 유의성 있는 $PGE_{2},\;PGF_{2}{\alpha},\;TXB_{2}$의 생성억제와 함께 6-keto-$PGF_{1}{\alpha}$ 증가를 보였다. 이는 prostacyclin synthetase를 자극하는 serotonin의 효과와 같은 작용으로서 prostacyclin synthetase 억제제인 tranylcypromine에 대하여 길항효과를 보였다. 5. $TxB_{2}$생성억제 작용을 나타내는 ginsenoside들의 효과를 뒷받침하기 위하여 인삼 saponin 성분을 전처치한 patelet rich plasma에서 혈소판 응집시험 결과, ADP로 유도된 혈소판 응집반응에는 모든 인삼 saponin 성분들이 효과가 없었으나 arachidonic acid로 유도된 혈소판 응집반응에는 $G-Rb_{2}$, G-Rc, G-Re의 순으로 농도 의존적인 억제현상을 보였다. 이상의 결과와 같이 인삼 saponin 성분들은 arachidonic acid로부터 cyclooxygenase를 통해 일단 생성된 endoperoxide에서 각각의 prostaglandin을 생성하는 효소, 특히 $G-Rb_{2}$는 $TxA_{2}$ sysnthetase에 강력한 억제제로, G-Re는 prostacyclin 생합성의 촉진제로 심혈관계 균형에 기여하리라 생각된다.

It is accepted that colostral macrophages have protective effects on gastrointestinal tract of the neonates. Macrophages act as a major defensive cells in colostrum and serve as a main source of colostral prostaglandins which are known to exert cytoprotection for gastrointestinal tract of neonates against infectious agents and drugs such as aspirin. This study was conducted to evaluate the total cell numbers and differential counts for macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes in colostrum of Korean mothers. To compare the level of PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1$\alpha$, and TXB2 between colostrum and serum of postpartum mothers, radioimmunoassay adopting eicosanoids-antibody complex method was applied instead of charcoal method. The results were as follows : 1) Total defensive cell count was 7.6$\pm$2,37$\times$106 cells/ml, differential counts of macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes were 57.49$\pm$4.14%, 37.98$\pm$4.43% and 4.29$\pm$0.73% respectively. 2) The order of prostaglandin level in colostrum which are known to enhance development and cytoprotection of gastrointestinal tract, was 6-keto-PGF1$\alpha$, TXB2 and PGE2. Colostral PGE2 level was 584.6$\pm$72.3 pg/ml, higher than that of serum(p<0.01). 6-keto-PGF1$\alpha$, the most abundant prostaglandin in colostrum was higher than in serum level, too (p<0.01). Serum TXB2 level of postpartum mothers(n=42) was higher nine times than that of colostrum(p<0.01), which seems to cause vasoconstriction of uterus in postpartum period. 3) In preterm mothers, serum level of TXB2 level in both groups.

Prostaglandin(PG) is ubiquitously distributed in most mammalian tissue and their actions are complicated. Especially in autonomic nervous system, there are evidences indicating that PGs act as neuromodulators i.e., PGs, which are released in the vicinity of autonomic neuroeffector junctions, influence the release and the response of the neurotransmitter. Present study was undertaken to elucidate the interrelationship between $PGF_{2\alpha}$ and adrenergic ${\alpha}_2-receptor$ function in electrical field stimulation induced contractile response of vas deferens in rat. Male rat, weighing 150{\sim}200\;g, was sacrificed and vas deferens was obtained. The isolated vas deferens strip was placed between two platinum electrodes in temperature controlled $(37^{\circ}C)$ muscle chamber containing Tyrode's solution and the electrical field stimulation(EFS) induced contraction was recorded with Grass Polygraph(Model 7) via force displacement transducer (FT .03, Grass). The results are summarized as follows: 1) Electrical field stimulation for 1sec( 1 msec, 40 cps) induced contraction of vas deferens was completely blocked by tetrodotoxin. 2) Bretylium caused marked inhibition of the EFS-induced contraction, hut tyramine and cocaine augmented the contraction. 3) EFS-induced contraction was inhibited or little affected in distal portion of vas deferens by norepinephrine or methoxamine, but the contraction was rather augmented by the ${\alpha}-agonists$ in proximal portion. 4) Clonidine inhibited the EFS-induced contraction proportionally to the concentration in distal portion, which was blocked by yohimbine pretreatment, but in the presence of $PGF_{2\alpha}$ the blockade by yohimbine was reversed. 5) Indomethacin pretreatment reduced the effect of clonidine, but addition of $PGF_{2\alpha}$ after washing-out the indomethacin caused the contraction to the control level. From these results it is suggested that PG synthesis is a necessary step and the PG itself has a permissive role in ${\alpha}_2-adrenoceptor$ action in rat vas deferens.

본 연구는 임신 및 분만후 rat에 oxytocin을 투여후 혈장, 자궁 및 태반 조직에서 estradiol-17$\beta$, progesterone, prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 및 prostaglandin E$_2$그리고 자궁 조직의 oxytocin 수용체의 함량 사이의 관계에 대하여 조사하였다. 임신 rat에 oxytocin 투여 후 혈장 estradiol-17$\beta$의 농도는 임신 말기에 서서히 증가하여 임신 22일에 최고를 기록하였고 분만 후 1일에는 임신 16일 수준으로 감소하였다. Progesterone 농도는 임신 18일부터 분만 후 1일에 유의성 있는(p<0.05) 감소를 보였다. Prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 및 Prostaglandin E$_2$농도는 임신 14일에서 임신 22일에 공히 상승하여 임신 22일에 최고를 기록하였고 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하였다. Estradiol-17$\beta$의 농도는 자궁 조직에서 임신 14일에서 20일까지 서서히 증가하다가 임신 22일에 급격한 증가를 기록하였고 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하여 임신 14일 수준을 유지하였으며 progesterone 농도는 임신 16일에 상승을 보인 후 임신 20일까지 급격히 감소하였고 분만 후 1일까지 같은 수준을 유지하였다. Prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 및 prostaglandin E$_2$농도는 자궁조직에서 임신 말기 전기간에 상승하여 임신 22일에 최고를 기록한 후 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하여 임신 14일과 비교하여 70% 수준을 기록하였다. Prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$ 농도는 태반 조직에서 임신 14일에서 임신 22일까지 지속적으로 증가하였고 분만 후 1일에는 급격히 감소하였으며 prostaglandin E$_2$의 농도는 임신 14일에서 20일에 증가한 후 분만 후 1일까지 감소하였다. Oxytocin 수용체의 농도는 자궁 조직에서 임신 20일에서 임신 22일 사이에 급격히 증가한 후 분만 후 1일까지 비슷한 수준을 기록하였다. 이상에서와 oxytocin투여에 의한 임신 rat에 있어서 progesterone 농도의 감소에 이은 estradiol-17 $\beta$, prostaglandin F$_2$$_{\alpha}$, prostaglandin E$_2$및 oxytocin 수용체 농도의 증가는 조기에 시작되었다.

Perhaps the most common type of reproductive dysfunction in captive fish is failure of females to undergo final oocyte maturation and thus to ovulate and spawn. The success of aquaculture could therefore be improved by developing techniques to enhance natural spawning, artificial maturation, and/or to induce ovulation in farmed fish. This study aimed to investigate the effects of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) and prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ ($PGF_{2{\alpha}}$) on in vitro oocyte maturation (germinal vesicle breakdown, GVBD) and ovulation in the marine fish Chasmichthys dolichognathus. Post-vitellogenic follicles (0.80-0.94 mm diameter oocytes) were incubated with $PGE_2$ or $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ at concentrations of 5, 50, or 500 ng/mL for 24 hours. A significant increase in GVBD was seen in 0.84 mm and 0.94 mm oocytes incubated with 50 ng/mL $PGE_2$ compared with the control. There was no significant increase in GVBD in any of the other experimental conditions (5 or 500 ng/mL $PGE_2$ or 5, 50, or 500 ng/mL $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$). Neither of the prostaglandins induced ovulation at the concentrations tested.These results suggest that GVBD was induced by incubation with 50 ng/mL $PGE_2$.

Effective estrus detection and artificial insemination (AI) are necessary for profitable management of dairy herd. In current study, 45 crossbred lactating cows have been selected with the complaint of unobserved oestrus for more than sixty days postpartum. All cows had functional corpus luteum as examined by transrectal ultrasonography. Cows were treated with $PGF_2{\alpha}$ analogue and AI was performed with observed oestrus and then single dose of GnRH was administered. Similar synchronization protocol has been repeated after 14 days in cows that did not repose to first treatment. Remaining cows received additional $PGF_2{\alpha}$ after 14 days of second treatment and timed AI was performed following GnRH administration. Among 45 cows, 28.89% showed estrus after first treatment and 78.79% responded to second hormonal intervention. A higher conception rate (88.89% vs 26.66 and 72.72%) was observed in cows after triple administration of $PGF_2{\alpha}$ and timed AI. We noticed a significant differences in body condition score (BCS, 1~5 scale), postpartum period, and daily milk production between cows that either responded of non-responded following first and second hormonal treatment. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between daily milk production and BCS, age and postpartum days, milk production and estrus/BCS, and milk production/BCS/estrus and conception rate. Depending upon the findings we conclude that hormonal intervention with $PGF_2{\alpha}$ and GnRH enhances postpartum ovarian cyclicity and help decreasing the days open of dairy herd. Therefore, this finding might provide an excellent guideline for target breeding system for profitable dairy herd management.

This study compared the pregnancy rates of Korean native donor cattle after either a timed artificial insemination (TAI) or embryo transfer (TET) following the synchronization of ovulation using a controlled internal drug release (CIDR) device together with estradiol benzoate (EB) and prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ ($PGF_{2{\alpha}}$). Fifty five cows and 8 heifers which had been previously used for embryo production were assigned to two treatments: (1) Thirty-two cattle received a CIDR device and 2 mg EB (Day 0), 25 mg $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ injection at the time of CIDR removal on Day 7, and 1 mg EB injection on Day 8. All of the cattle received a TAI 30 h (Day 9) after the second EB injection (TAI group). (2) Thirty-one cattle received the same hormonal treatments as in the TAI group. The cattle with corpus luteum (CL) received a TET on Day 16 using frozen-thawed embryos (TET group). Ultrasonographic observations demonstrated that the proportion of cattle with synchronized ovulation on Day 10 and the concomitant formation of new CL on Day 13 did not differ between groups (p>0.05); the overall mean rates were 65.1 and 73.0%, respectively. The conception and pregnancy rates did not differ (p>0.05) between the TAI (12.5% and 12.5%) and TET groups (13.0% and 9.7%), respectively. We conclude that the pregnancy rate following TAI or TET in Korean native donor cattle was poor, which might be due in part to a poor synchrony of ovulation and concomitant CL formation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of neurotransmitters and the source of $Ca^{2+}$ in the effects of neurotransmitters on the motility of pig oviductal isthmic smooth muscle. The motility of the isolated smooth muscle was recorded by using physiological recording system. The results were summarized as follows; Acetylcholine, norepinephrine, histamine and prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}(PGF_{2{\alpha}})$ caused the contraction and the contractile responses were increased in a dose-dependent manner from the concentration of $10^{-7}$ to $10^{-4}M$. The maximum contractility of acetylcholine, norepinephrine, histamine and $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ was 65.99, 28.66, 83.99 and 47.33% of 100 mM K contraction, respectively. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine$(10^{-6}M)$ was completely blocked by the pretreatment with cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine$(10^{-6}M)$, the contractile response induced by norepinephrine$(10^{-5}M)$ was blocked by the pretreatment with ${\alpha}$-adrenergic receptor blocker, phentolamine$(10^{-6}M)$ but was not blocked and rather increased by the pretreatment with ${\beta}$-adrenergic receptor blocker. propranolol$(10^{-6}M)$, the contractile response induced by histamine$(10^{-6}M)$ was completely blocked by the pretreatment with $H_1$-histaminergic receptor blocker, pyrilamine$(10^{-6}M)$ but was increased by the pretreatment with $H_2$-histaminergic receptor blocker, cimetidine$(10^{-6}M)$. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine$(10^{-6}M)$, norepinephrine$(10^{-5}M)$ and histamine$(10^{-6}M)$ was weakly contracted response in $Ca^{2+}$-free medium, but the contractile response induced by $PGF_{2{\alpha}}(10^{-6}M)$ was disappeared. The contractile response induced by acetylcholine$(10^{-6}M)$, norepinephrine$(10^{-5}M)$ and histamine$(10^{-6}M)$ was powerfully depressed by the pretreatment with $Ca^{2+}$-channel blocker, verapamil$(10^{-5}M)$ but the contractile response induced by $PGF_{2{\alpha}}(10^{-6}M)$ was completely inhibited.
