As an initial step to clarify the mechanisms of various uterine actions of PGE2, expression
patterns of the messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for four subtypes of PGE receptors, EP1, EP2 …

Among the PGs, PGE2 is considered especially important for implantation and
decidualization. Four major PGE2 receptor subtypes, EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4, mediate …

In the rodent uterus, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is believed to have a major role in
implantation and decidualization. The present study investigated the temporal and hormonal …

Background: Gene expression of prostaglandin E receptor EP2 is induced in the luminal
epithelium of the mouse uterus during peri‐implantation period (day‐5 of …

Abstract Prostaglandins (PGs), especially PGE2 and PGF2α, are considered important for
blastocyst spacing, implantation, and decidualization in the rodent uterus. However …

PGE2 is known to induce uterine contraction by increasing intracellular Ca2+. In the present
study, to investigate other functions of PGE2 in human uterus, two EP3 isoforms were …

Abstract Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays a key role in the maintenance of human pregnancy
and labour onset. PGE2 can elicit diverse actions within the uterus depending on the PGE2 …

PGE2 is essential for mammalian female reproduction. This study was to examine the
expression of EP2 gene in the rat uterus during early pregnancy, delayed implantation and …

Prostanoids, especially prostaglandin (PG) E2, are important mediators of uterine relaxation
and contractions during gestation and parturition. Inhibitors of PG formation as well as PG …

Prostaglandins (PGs) play important functions in the reproductive system, and PGE2
appears necessary for recognition of pregnancy. We have found that PGE2 is able to …
