Abstract:
Prostaglandin E (PGE) and prostaglandins A plus B (PGA+B) were determined by radioimmunoassay in blood plasma obtained from eight men immediately after a progressive arm and leg cycling task to exhaustion. PGE increased by 47 percent from 45 ± 6pg/ml (mean ± SEM) at rest to 66±8pg/ml after exercise, but PGA+B were unaffected by the work. The cause of the exercise-induced elevation of plasma PGE is unknown, but may be associated with PGE release from working skeletal muscle.
