    Glossary Prostaglandins

    group of lipid compounds with hormone-like effects in the body

    Prostaglandins are a group of lipid compounds that are derived from fatty acids and have hormone-like effects in the body. They play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including inflammation, blood flow, the formation of blood clots, and the induction of labor. Prostaglandins are also involved in the regulation of hair growth and can influence conditions like alopecia.
