title: Histochemical localization of prostaglandin dehydrogenase activity for PGF-2 alpha in some bovine tissues.
abstract: Prostaglandin dehydrogenase activity is histochemically detected in various bovine tissues (kidney, liver, lung, parotid and naso-labial glands) using as substrate prostaglandin F-2 alpha. Kidney, liver and lung showed the highest intensity of the reaction, but parotid and naso-labial glands also displayed enzymatic activity at the level of the ductal cells.
