| Abstract: | Plasma prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-like activity, cortisol and catecholamines were estimated in twenty stable angina pectoris and thirty control cases. PGE2 like activity was significantly decreased (0.7 ng/ml ± 0.44) in angina patients compared to control (1.6 ng/ml ± 0.7). The plasma catecholamines were only marginally elevated in angina patients (242.8 ng/100 ml ± 14.2) compared to healthy individuals (236.2 ng/100 ml ± 5.5). The changes in plasma cortisol levels were not significant in angina (18.4 μg%± 6.5) in comparison to control (16.9 μg% ± 3.2). |
