Protective Effect of Prostaglandin EP4-Receptor Agonist on Anti-glomerular Basement Membrane Antibody-Associated Nephritis

Prostaglandin E2-receptor subtypes, EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4, are present in the kidney. The aim of this study was to elucidate the anti-nephritic effect of an EP4-receptor agonist on an experimental nephritic model.
