[Concentration of depressor and pressor prostaglandins in the blood of patients with cerebral hypertensive crises].

The content of depressor and pressor prostaglandins in the blood plasma was examined by radioimmunology during different stages of hypertonic disease and in cerebral hypertensive crises. The achieved results were correlated with the data concerning the content of prostaglandins in normal individuals. These studies permitted to demonstrate certain changes in the level of pressor and depressor prostaglandins depending upon the stage of the hypertensive disease and crises states. In this respect the obtained facts allow to assume that prostaglandins play a certain role in the pathogenesis of different traits of the hypertensive disease.
