Influence of inhibiting the activity of AKR1C3 on PGD2 metabolism. Inhibiting the activity of AKR1C3 by the use of indomethacin or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) interferes with prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) metabolism towards 9α,11β PGF2 and favours nonenzymatic metabolism towards J-series prostanoids and the PPARγ ligand 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-PGJ2.
