The effect of cholera enterotoxin on biosynthesis and metabolism of prostaglandins in the rat small intestine was studied. It was shown that in the course of action of cholera enterotoxin maximal synthesis and metabolism of prostaglandins (PG) was observed within the first 30 minutes after enterotoxin administration into the isolated intestinal loop. It was found that cholera enterotoxin induced, on the one hand, the shift in the correlation of different types of prostaglandins synthetized in vitro and, on the other, differentially activated PG synthesis and metabolism after pretreatment with the PG-synthetase inhibitor indomethacin.
