Prostaglandin synthesis produces lipid compounds that act as chemical messengers in biological processes such as inflammation. Enzymes initiate synthesis, and drugs like aspirin prevent it. Prostaglandins function as cell signaling molecules and are synthesized constantly in the body. COX enzymes mediate synthesis, and COX-2 is released during tissue injury, leading to an inflammatory response. Aspirin […]
Prostaglandin production is influenced by natural processes, diet, and medication. They affect many organs and can cause inflammation, fever, and pain. NSAIDs reduce prostaglandin production, but also inhibit beneficial ones. Diet can stimulate or suppress prostaglandin production. Some substances, such as bromelain, turmeric, mangosteen, and pomegranate, can suppress inflammatory prostaglandins. Prostaglandin production is influenced by […]
