The elimination of [3H]prostaglandin E1 in anaesthetized rats was studied by continuous intravenous or intraarterial infusions, producing steady-state concentrations at the level of endogenous prostaglandin E2 in mixed venous blood. Blood samples (0.5 ml) were collected from the carotid artery or the right atrium, respectively. The levels of [3H]prostaglandin E1 were measured at different infusion time intervals and the 3H-labeled hydrophobic metabolites characterized. Cardiac output was estimated by a modification of the dye injection method, using 125I-labelled albumin as the marker. From the cardiac output and the rate of infusion, the fractional clearance of the lung and the systemic beds in the steady-state situation were estimated to 88.3 +/- 3.2% and 54.1 +/- 15.2% (mean +/- S.D.), RESPECTIVELY. The hydrophobic metabolites were characterized chromatographically on Sephadez LH-20 columns, using synthetically prepared [14C]prostaglandin metabolites as internal standards and markers. The identities of some metabolites were further established by derivative formation to a constant [3H]/[14C] ratio. The major metabolite was 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-[3H]prostaglandin E1, while 15-keto-[3H]prostaglandin E1 and 13,14-dihydro-[3H]prostaglandin E1 could not be demonstrated.
