prostaglandins are a group of closely related arachidonic acid derivatives. they are 20 carbon long chain unsaturated fatty acid.prostaglandins are produced by most of the body cells which are capable of eliciting a variety of of pharmacological responses in the body.
The basic structure comprises of cyclopentane ring, aliphatic side chains with an unsaturation at c-13 and a hydroxyl group at c-15 position.
the prostaglandins have short duration of action,limited availability,high cost producing undesirable effects and parenteral route of administation.
the prostagladins are abrofacient in nature(i.e, they are capable of preventing or terminating the pregnancy). the gestation period of humans is divided into 3 trimesters.PEG1 and PGF2alpha are used for abortion during the first and second trimester.
A prostaglandin is a type of lipid that helps regulate an animal's body. Unlike hormones, prostaglandins generally affect an area of the body near where they are produced which is why they are produced in many different places throughout the body.
Play a role in inflammation processes and pain
Certain hormones such as prostaglandins may be released. These hormones enhance the pain message and play a role in immune system responses to injury, such as inflammation.
Kinins and prostaglandins are both key cells in the process of inflammation. Active complement or tissue damage can trigger these mast cells. The Kinins trigger pain in the nerve endings. Prostaglandins are like histamine and increase permiability and vasodilation in the capillary vessel. Which is the most important part of the inflammation process.
Yes, prostaglandins are made in the renal medulla.

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.
Yes, they are.
