The in vivo effects of prostaglandin F2 alpha and prostaglandin E2 on rat urinary excretion of vanillylmandelic acid.
The effects of prostaglandin(PG) F2 alpha and E2 on rat urinary level of vanillylmandelic acid(VMA) were studied, and only PGF2 alpha was found to decrease VMA excretion. This may be resulted from the inhibition of catecholamine metabolism.
