meclofenamic acid and Pregnancy

meclofenamic acid has been researched along with Pregnancy in 50 studies

Meclofenamic Acid: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with antipyretic and antigranulation activities. It also inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis.
meclofenamic acid : An aminobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 2,6-dichloro-3-methylphenyl group. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used as the sodium salt for the treatment of dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Despite activation of the renin-angiotensin system during pregnancy, renal and peripheral vascular blood flows increase, and the systemic blood pressure and the pressor response to exogenous angiotensin II (Ang II) fall."7.67Angiotensin II receptor alterations during pregnancy in rabbits. ( Brown, GP; Venuto, RC, 1986)
"Treatment with meclofenamic acid supported the establishment of pregnancy in recipient mares that ovulated before the donors."3.73Meclofenamic acid extends donor-recipient asynchrony in equine embryo transfer. ( Allen, WR; Kölling, M; Wilsher, S, 2006)
" Because angiogenic growth factors such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are increased in pregnancy, we hypothesized that treatment of uterine and fetoplacental arteries with bFGF, VEGF, and EGF would further enhance the pregnancy-induced increase in PGI2 production."3.70Effects of angiogenic growth factors on endothelium-derived prostacyclin production by ovine uterine and placental arteries. ( Bird, IM; Krishnamurthy, P; Magness, RR; Sheppard, C, 1999)
"Although the potential for endothelium-dependent relaxation is augmented in mesenteric arteries of the pregnant rat, the decreased sensitivity to phenylephrine during pregnancy is not modulated acutely by endothelium-derived relaxing factor or by prostaglandin products of the cyclooxygenase pathway."3.68Endogenous modulation of the blunted adrenergic response in resistance-sized mesenteric arteries from the pregnant rat. ( Davidge, ST; McLaughlin, MK, 1992)
" We found that pregnancy decreased systemic vascular resistance and the systemic vascular resistance response to angiotensin II infusion but not to phenylephrine hydrochloride infusion in awake, unstressed guinea pigs."3.67Blunted vasoreactivity in pregnant guinea pigs is not restored by meclofenamate. ( Harrison, GL; Moore, LG, 1989)
"Despite activation of the renin-angiotensin system during pregnancy, renal and peripheral vascular blood flows increase, and the systemic blood pressure and the pressor response to exogenous angiotensin II (Ang II) fall."3.67Angiotensin II receptor alterations during pregnancy in rabbits. ( Brown, GP; Venuto, RC, 1986)
"Meclofenamic acid was superior to placebo from 6 h after treatment and it almost suppressed subjective pain at the end of the observation period (28th h)."2.67Use of meclofenamic acid in gynecology and obstetrics: effects on postsurgical stress. ( De Pietri, R; Facchinetti, F; Genazzani, AR; Giunchi, M, 1991)
") did not alter the dose-response curves."1.29Role of angiotensin II and prostaglandins in the regulation of uteroplacental blood flow. ( Woods, LL, 1993)
"There is an increased incidence of preeclampsia at high compared with low altitude."1.28Systemic vascular reactivity during high-altitude pregnancy. ( Harrison, GL; Moore, LG, 1990)
"Meclofenamic acid treatment in late pregnancy modified the normal initiation of lactation, as indicated by the high concentration of lactose and low concentrations of protein and Na+ in colostrum in treated sows compared to controls."1.26Influence of meclofenamic acid on the initiation of parturition and lactation in the sow. ( Barker, I; Gooneratne, AD; Hartmann, PE, 1982)
"Fetal hypoxemia, induced by delivering a hypoxic gas mixture to the ewe, was characterized by a reduction in fetal PaO2 from 20."1.26Prostaglandin control of the renal circulation in response to hypoxemia in the fetal lamb in utero. ( Baig, H; Millard, RW; Vatner, SF, 1979)
"Indomethacin treatment did not terminate pregnancy: the proportion of animals pregnant on Days 5, 7, 10 and 16 was not affected, although fetal mortality was slightly greater in these animals."1.26The importance of prostaglandin synthesis for the initiation of blastocyst implantation in the hamster. ( Evans, CA; Kennedy, TG, 1978)
