1 PGs are rapidly metabolized to inactive metabolites by prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH). Prostaglandins 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase Homo sapiens
2 PGs are rapidly metabolized to inactive metabolites by prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH). Prostaglandins 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase Homo sapiens
3 The presence of PGDH at this site acts to stabilize output of primary PG from the placenta and also as a barrier preventing transfer to the fetal circulation, resulting in the separation of PG homeostasis in the fetus and mother. Prostaglandins 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase Homo sapiens
