The endogenous formation of prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGE2, PGF2.alpha. and 6-keto-PGF1.alpha. was determined in homogenates of mouse, rat and rabbit brain, and of rat cerebral blood vessels, using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. In all species tested, 6-keto-PGF1.alpha. was identified in the brain homogenates, but was a minor component in relation to other PG. 6-keto-PGF1.alpha. was the most abundant PG in the blood vessels, being present in 40-fold higher levels than in the brain tissue. PGD2 was the most abundant PG in rat and mouse brains, but was below detection limits in the analyzed blood vessels. These studies indicating differential metabolism of PG endoperoxides in nervous and vascular tissue apparently provide a biochemical basis for further studies on the role of PG in brain circulation and neuronal activity.
