title: Increase in enzyme activities of prostaglandin biosynthesis and catabolism by acute ureteral ligation in rat kidney.
abstract: Acute ureteral obstruction increased cyclooxygenase, thromboxane and prostacyclin synthases and NAD+-linked 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activities in rat kidney. Significant increase in prostaglandin biosynthetic and catabolic activities may mediate some pathological consequences found in obstructive nephropathy.
