Prostaglandins function to activate an inflammatory response, which is the bodyâs way of neutralizing an infection caused by internal or external stimuli (burns, toxins, frostbite, radiation and splinters). Typical inflammatory responses include fever, the sensation of pain and swelling.
When the body is functioning normally, baseline levels of prostaglandins are produced by the action of cyclooxygenase-1. When the body is injured (or inflammation occurs in any area of the body), cyclooxygenase-2 is activated and produces extra prostaglandins which help the body to respond to the injury.
