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.
Prostaglandins as hormones. Shimizu N, Nakamura T. In recent years, the concept of a hormone has been greatly changed, and the term 'cybernin' is used to describe a substance which possesses not only endocrine activity but also has autocrine and paracrine effects.owever, the metabolic degradation of prostaglandins is rapid and their significance as circulatory hormones has not been clarified. Yet it is clear that prostaglandins have important physiological activity and it is possible that the effects of prostaglandins are mediated by paracrine or autocrine mechanisms.
