How Do Prostaglandins Influence Inflammation and Pain?
Prostaglandins play a pivotal role in the inflammatory response. They are produced at sites of tissue damage or infection, where they cause inflammation, pain, and fever as part of the healing process. In toxicology, this is significant as many toxic agents can trigger an inflammatory response that is mediated by prostaglandins. Understanding this pathway is essential for developing therapies that can mitigate the harmful effects of toxins.
