Prostaglandins are a subclass of eicosanoids derived from long chain fatty acids.
Prostaglandins are involved in a diverse range of functions including vasodilation, uterus contraction, pain, gastric acid secretion, and autonomic neurotransmitters.
Prostaglandins can also by pyrogenic.
Synthesis[edit | edit source]
They are found in almost all cells with a nucleus. They are produced by the oxidation of arachidonic acid, DGLA or EPA from the cell membrane by phospholipase A2.
Exercise[edit | edit source]
In healthy people, Prostaglandin E2 levels are raised significantly for days after exercise.[1]
