The generation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is significantly increased in acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. PGE2, in addition to other prostaglandins, protects the reperfused ischemic myocardium. It has been hypothesized that this cardioprotection is mediated by E-type prostaglandin receptors of the Gi-coupled EP3 subtype.
