| | Tripping Lightly Down the Prostaglandin Pathways |
 | | They provide factors that open both lanes of the prostaglandin pathway, creating a wide and open highway to skip along for renewed vitality and vibrant health. | | | Alcohol consumption interferes with D6D, as does malnutrition and overeating--so moderation is the key to tripping lightly down the prostaglandin pathway. | | | Migraine headaches with accompanying gastrointestinal disturbances can be explained by increased prostaglandin production, particularly PGE1. |
