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, prostaglandins are not proteins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds derived from fatty acids. They play a role in inflammation, blood clotting, and other important physiological processes in the body.
The four major macromolecules are carbohydrates (example: glucose), lipids (example: triglycerides), proteins (example: enzymes), and nucleic acids (example: DNA).
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.
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.
The word equation for triglycerides is "triglyceride = glycerol + 3 fatty acids."
Yes, prostaglandins are made in the renal medulla.

Yes, they are.
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.
Yes.
Prostaglandins.
Triglycerides contain C, H, O.
95 percentage of the lipids in foods are triglycerides.
