The presence of prostaglandins [PG] D2, E2 and F2.alpha. was demonstrated and their contents measured in various regions of postmortem human brain, pineal body and pituitary by using specific radioimmunoassays and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The 3 prostglandins were widely distributed in similar concentrations ranging from several hundred pg/g wet wt to .apprx. 40 ng/g net wt. PG D2 and E2 showed consistent and similar regional distributions in all 6 brain tested; amounts were high in pineal body, pituitary, olfactory bulb and hypothalamus. PG F2.alpha. was distributed more evenly. PG D synthetase and PG E synthetase activities were found in cerebrum homogenate from a single subject and were recovered from the 100,000 .times. g supernatant. The presence of 1 mM glutathione, reduced form markedly stimulated the activity of PG E synthetase, but did not affect PG D synthetase activity. Activity of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase was found in the cerebrum homogenate and was partially purified. This enzyme required NADP as a cofactor and copurified with PG E 9-ketoreductase.
