What Does PG Stand For?
PG stands for Prostaglandin
Prostaglandin (PG) refers to a group of lipid compounds derived from fatty acids that have diverse hormone-like effects in various physiological processes. They play a critical role in regulating inflammation, smooth muscle contraction, blood flow, and the modulation of immune responses. Prostaglandins are produced in nearly all tissues and are involved in the body's healing processes, as well as in the regulation of reproductive functions, such as ovulation and labor. Due to their significant impact on numerous bodily functions, prostaglandins are also targeted in medical treatments for conditions like pain, inflammation, and gastrointestinal disorders.
