Supports local vasodilation by intra-arterial PGE1 in volunteers; leaves open therapeutic translation to vascular disease.
Does prostaglandin E1 infusion increase forearm blood flow in healthy male volunteers?
Intra-arterial infusion of prostaglandin E1 causes rapid, local vasodilation and increased forearm blood flow that is abolished by noradrenaline but not atropine or propranolol.
Bevegård et al. (1969) studied this question.
