Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of prostaglandins: Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that have hormone-like effects, primarily acting locally near the site of synthesis.

Recognize the synthesis and storage of prostaglandins: Unlike some hormones that are stored in large quantities, prostaglandins are synthesized on demand from fatty acids and are not stored in large amounts within cells.

Identify the functions of prostaglandins: They are involved in various physiological processes, including inflammation, pain modulation, and regulation of blood flow.

Analyze the options given: Compare each statement with the known characteristics of prostaglandins to determine which one is not true.

Conclude which statement is incorrect: Based on the understanding that prostaglandins are not stored in large quantities, identify this as the statement that is not true.
