Abstract
Prostaglandins E(2) and F-2a have a mild stimulatory effect (+ 11% to 18% from baseline) on the in vitro ciliary beat frequency in tracheal rings, which contain mucus-producing cells, and in brain slices, which are devoid of mucus. Results are compared with previous studies and t he merits of the used experimental models are discussed.
