The team found that the allergic reactions caused cells to produce more prostaglandins, a type of hormone.

小组发现过敏反应导致细胞产生更多前腺素，这是一种激素。

A few years later, other scientists came across prostaglandins again.

几年后，其他科学家又发现了前腺素。

That ring of sclerotic tissue often produces prostaglandins, which are small molecules that trigger the sensation of pain.

硬化骨组织通常会产生前腺素，这些小分子会引发感。

In 1976, researchers discovered cyclooxygenase, or the COX enzyme, which makes a few different biomarkers, including prostaglandins.

1976 年，研究人员发现了环氧合酶，即 COX 酶，它产生了几种不同生物标志物，包括前腺素。

More COX binding, less prostaglandin, so less pain.

更多 COX 结合，更少前腺素，所以带是更少。

When it receives this message, the hypothalamus produces another molecule called prostaglandin E2, which gears it up for war.

当下丘脑接受到这种信息，它会产生另一种分子叫做前腺素E2，在战争中发挥了重要作用。

Soon after birth, the foramen ovale closes and prostaglandin E2 levels fall, causing the ductus arteriosus to close off.

出生后不久，卵圆孔闭合、前腺素E2水平下降，导致动脉导管闭合。

And what they do is they block the release of prostaglandins.

他们所做是阻止前腺素释放。

That reduces the production of prostaglandins, hormone-like compounds that normally cause inflammation and pain.

这会减少前腺素产生，前腺素是通常会引起炎症和类激素化合物。

They were able to tie prostaglandins to fever, inflammation, and headaches, so this went a long way toward explaining how aspirin worked.

他们能够将前腺素与发烧、炎症和头联起，所以这对解释阿司匹林作用有很大帮助。

Aspirin and ibuprofen block production of one class of these tuning chemicals, called prostaglandins.

阿司匹林和布洛芬可阻止一种调节化学物质生产，称为“前腺素”。

It acts in the brain, it inhibits the pain and inflammation producing chemicals called prostaglandins.

它作用于大脑，抑制和炎症，产生称为前腺素化学物质。

In response, it produces bicarbonate, mucus, and phospholipids called prostaglandins to maintain the integrity of its own lining.

作为回应，它会产生碳酸氢盐、粘液和称为前腺素磷脂，以维持自身内膜完整性。

While COX-2 produces prostaglandins during inflammation, a COX-1 enzyme has the added duty of making prostaglandins to protect the lining of your stomach.

虽然 COX-2 在炎症期间会产生前腺素，但 COX-1 酶还有制造前腺素保护胃内膜额外职责。

When we menstruate, the lining of the uterus releases substances that are made into chemicals called prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators.

当我们月经时，子宫内膜会释放出一种物质， 这些物质会被制成称为前腺素和其他炎症介质化学物质。

They showed that the drug interrupts the production of certain chemicals called prostaglandins, which control the transmission of pain sensations and inflammation.

他们表明，这种药物会中断某些称为前腺素化学物质产生，这种化学物质控制觉和炎症传递。

For example, IL-4 leads the production of IgE antibodies which coat mast cells and stimulate them to release granules containing things like histamines, leukotrienes and prostaglandins.

例如，IL-4导致了IgE抗体产生，覆盖在肥大细胞表面，并刺激它们释放含有像组胺、白三烯和前腺素等物质颗粒。

That's because cytokines and prostaglandin can reach even higher structures in your brain, disrupting the activity of neurotransmitters, like glutamate, endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine.

这是因为细胞因子和前腺素可以到达你大脑中更高结构，破坏神经递质活性，如谷氨酸，内啡肽，血清素，和多巴胺。

Well, the drug indomethacin can be used to close a PDA because it's a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, and it inhibits prostaglandin E2.

而药物吲哚美辛被用使PDA闭合，因为它是种非甾体抗炎药，或称NSAID，可抑制前腺素E2。

Cortisol also helps to dampen the inflammatory and immune response by reducing the production and release of inflammatory mediators, like prostaglandins and interleukins, as well as inhibiting the proliferation of T-lymphocytes.

皮质醇也有助于抑制炎症和免疫反应，会降低如前腺素和白细胞介素等炎症介质制造和释放，也会抑制T淋巴细胞增殖。
