title: Correlation of prostaglandin-induced mitochondrial calcium release with contraction in bovine intrapulmonary vein.
abstract: The effects of prostaglandins A2, A1, F2 alpha, E2, E2, F1 beta and an analog of PGH2 upon calcium release from mitochondria isolated from bovine intrapulmonary vein and contraction of helical strips of the same tissue were determined. The order of activity of the prostaglandins for calcium release was similar to that for contraction with the exception of the PGH2 analog. It is suggested that prostaglandin A2, F2 alpha, E2 and A1 induced release of mitochondrial calcium may influence the contractile state of bovine intrapulmonary vein. However, the PGH2 analog has a subcellular mechanism other than or in addition to mitochondrial calcium release and is different from the other prostaglandins.
