Abstract
We have found a higher concentration of prostaglandins in blood from the diabetic
patient under long-term indomethacin therapy as compared with blood from non-diabetics.
These findings are generally (qualitatively) similar to previous reports with studies
of blood serum from diabetic patients, not on indomethacin treatment, compared with
non-diabetics. Certain rationale are presented in an effort to explain the reason
why blood prostaglandins in the diabetic are not lowered when the patients are treated
with a drug which is clearly established as a blocker of prostaglandin synthesis.
