Conclusion

Our conclusion suggests [3,9] that during an anaphylactic shock, in guinea-pigs there are two kinds of prostaglandin synthesis and/or release:

  • - a specific production of PGF (bronchoconstrictors) which are released and/or synthetized at the same time as histamine,

  • - a non specific one, the production of PGE and F being secondary to the release of histamine.
