Prostaglandins are hormone-like chemicals that regulate such bodily processes as bronchial constriction, male sexual function, nerve and kidney function, blood pressure, immunity, blood sugar levels, stomach acid, mucus production in the stomach lining, and uterine stimulation. EPO is an effective treatment for cyclic breast pain. Although it is also used for PMS and for hot flashes, clinical studies do not support these uses.

To a chef, it means that the Maillard reaction has browned a roast or caramelized onions. To a doctor, it means that your arteries, organs, and cells have been hardened or damaged, causing cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, vision loss, kidney problems, and chronic inflammation.
