Prostaglandins have been detected in most body tissues. They act at very low concentrations to cause the contraction of smooth muscle; natural and synthetic prostaglandin are used to induce abortion or labor in humans and domestic animals. Two prostaglandin derivatives have antagonistic effects on blood circulation: thromboxane A₂causes bolld clotting, while prostacyclin causes blood vessels to dilate. Prostaglandins are also involved in inflammation, being released from affected tissues.
