The endogenous concentration of prostaglandin D2, prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2α in the ovary of crab Oziotelphusa senex senex were determined. Homogenates of crab ovary synthesized these three prostaglandins. Prostaglandin E2 was the major prostaglandin synthesized by the crab ovary, followed by prostaglandin F2α and prostaglandin D2.
