No. Prostaglandins form a group of biologically active lipids that are derived, in humans, from arachidonic acid (5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid), a C20 polyunsaturated fatty acid that has four nonconjugated double bonds; and that are named by reference to a hypothetical compound, called prostanoic acid.

no
What are prostaglandins also called?
Prostaglandins are also called paracrines. Prostaglandins are not hormones, but autocrines or paracrines, which are locally acting messenger molecules. They differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a discrete site but in many places throughout the human body.
Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
What chemical causes inflammation?
Stool (poo) is the chemical substance produced by the body that is associated with the pain of inflammation, as inflammation is pain in your backside.
Triglycerides are the monomers for what type of macromolecule?
Triglycerides are macromolecules called lipids, better known as fats or oils. Triglycerides are named for the monomer components they contain. "Tri" means three, and triglycerides are built from monomers of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol.
Are prostaglandins made in the renal medulla?
Yes, prostaglandins are made in the renal medulla.
In what form are dietary lipids found?
triglycerides
Are prostaglandins proteins?
no
What are hormone like substances produced by nearly all cells called?
Prostaglandins
Prostaglandins are classified as a?
Hormones
What macromolecule is hormones?
prostaglandins
What the difference between saturated triglycerides and unsaturated?
Saturated triglycerides have more hydrogen's than unsaturated triglycerides.

Prostaglandins are also called paracrines. Prostaglandins are not hormones, but autocrines or paracrines, which are locally acting messenger molecules. They differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a discrete site but in many places throughout the human body.
Are prostaglandins considered paracrines?
Yes, they are.
Triglycerides are classified by what?
The shape, length, and saturation of the fatty acids are ways that triglycerides are classified. Triglycerides are classified as a fat.
What are Triglycerides elements?
Triglycerides contain C, H, O.
Mucus production in the stomach is blocked by medications that block the release of?
prostaglandins. prostaglandins protect the mucosal barrier by stimulating the secretion of mucus and bicarbonate and b inhibiting secretions of acid. medicines that block prostaglandins therefore blocks mucus production.
