As estrogen begins to stimulate uterine contractions, the uterus also produces hormones called prostaglandins. These also contribute to a decrease in progesterone levels. The release of prostaglandins helps initiate labor and, along with another hormone called relaxin, relaxes the muscles of the cervix.ut once labor is complete and the baby is no longer in the birth canal, the cervix is not being stretched anymore. This lack of the physical signal of stretching is what stops the positive feedback loop, and labor comes to an end.
A given prostaglandin may have different and even opposite effects in different tissues. The ability of the same prostaglandin to stimulate a reaction in one tissue and inhibit the same reaction in another tissue is determined by the type of receptor to which the prostaglandin binds.he release of prostaglandin has now also been shown to be mediated by a specific transporter, namely the multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4, ABCC4), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily. Whether MRP4 is the only transporter releasing prostaglandins from the cells is still unclear.
