prostaglandins
Vasodilatory effect
↑ GFR - help prevent excessive reductions in GFR and renal blood flow
| Net effect: | vasodilation, ↑ GFR |
|---|---|
| Secreted from | endothelium |
| Stimulus | |
| Inhibition | cortisol NSAIDs |
| Site of action | |
| Action (function) | vasodilation = ↑ GFR, ↑ coronary flow in neonates: dilates ductus arteriosus |
vasoconstrictor prostaglandins aid in expelling placenta
