Difference between Corticosteroid and Prostaglandin

Corticosteroid vs. Prostaglandin

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. The prostaglandins (PG) are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds having diverse hormone-like effects in animals.

Similarities between Corticosteroid and Prostaglandin

Corticosteroid and Prostaglandin have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Enzyme, Inflammation, Kidney, Leukotriene, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Peptic ulcer disease, Phospholipase A2, Physiology, Vasoconstriction.

Enzyme

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.

Kidney

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.

Leukotriene

Leukotrienes are a family of eicosanoid inflammatory mediators produced in leukocytes by the oxidation of arachidonic acid (AA) and the essential fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by the enzyme arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a drug class that reduce pain, decrease fever, prevent blood clots and, in higher doses, decrease inflammation.

Peptic ulcer disease

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a break in the lining of the stomach, first part of the small intestine or occasionally the lower esophagus.

Phospholipase A2

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are enzymes that release fatty acids from the second carbon group of glycerol.

Physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of normal mechanisms, and their interactions, which work within a living system.

Vasoconstriction

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.
