Role of liquid membrane phenomenon in the biological actions of prostaglandins: studies on prostaglandin E1 and prostaglandin F2 alpha.

Modifications in the transport of relevant permeants to their respective sites of action due to the liquid membranes formed by prostaglandins in association with lecithin and cholesterol have been discussed in the light of biological actions of prostaglandins. It has been shown that the phenomenon of liquid membrane formation is likely to make a significant contribution to the biological actions.
