                      Hormone Prostaglandins

Prostaglandins, are a group of lipid mediators, found and isolated from human semen in the 1930s by Ulf von Euler of Sweden, responsible for inflammation features, such as swelling, pain, stiffness, redness and warmth. The hormones are produced by almost all nucleated cells and synthesized in the cell from the essential fatty acids (EFAs), include prostacyclin I2 (PGI2), prostaglandin E2(PGE2), and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α)

     Hormone Prostaglandins - other lipid mediators in Alzheimer's disease

In the central nervous system (CNS), prostaglandin (PG) and other bioactive lipids regulate vital aspects of neural membrane biology, including protein-lipid interactions, trans-membrane and trans-synaptic signaling. According to the study by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, showed that biochemical mechanisms of PLA2 overactivation and its pathophysiological consequences on CNS structure and function have been extensively studied using animal models and brain cells in culture triggered with PLA2 inducers, PGs, cytokines, and related lipid mediators. Moreover, the expression of both COX-2 and PLA2 appears to be strongly activated during Alzheimer's disease (AD), indicating the importance of inflammatory gene pathways as a response to brain injury. How brain PLA2 and brain PGs are early and key players in acute neural trauma and in brain-cell damage associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.(1).
