Prostacyclin, molecular model
Prostacyclin, molecular model. This is a hormone that acts to widen blood vessels (thus lowering blood pressure) and to prevent aggregation of platelets (preventing blood clotting). These effects are the opposite of those of the related hormone thromboxane, and the balance between the two is important in regulating the functioning of the circulatory system. When taken as a drug it is known as epoprostenol. Prostacyclin is synthesised in the body from prostaglandin H2, itself produced by the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2. In this model, atoms are shown as balls and are colour-coded: carbon (cyan), oxygen (pink) and hydrogen (white)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of Prostacyclin, a hormone with remarkable effects on the circulatory system. The intricate structure depicted here represents a hormone that plays a crucial role in widening blood vessels and preventing platelet aggregation, thereby reducing blood pressure and inhibiting blood clotting. Prostacyclin's functions stand in stark contrast to its counterpart, thromboxane, highlighting the delicate balance required for proper circulatory regulation. When administered as a drug, it is referred to as epoprostenol. Its synthesis occurs within the body from prostaglandin H2, which is produced by cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2. In this visually striking model, atoms are represented as vibrant balls meticulously color-coded: carbon (cyan), oxygen (pink), and hydrogen (white). This artistic representation allows us to appreciate the complexity of this biochemically significant compound at an atomic level. The significance of Prostacyclin extends beyond its molecular beauty; it holds immense importance in medicine and biology. With applications ranging from hypertension treatment to understanding hormonal interactions within our bodies, this molecule continues to intrigue researchers worldwide. Science Photo Library has expertly captured both the scientific essence and aesthetic allure of Prostacyclin through this stunning artwork. It serves as a reminder of how science can be artfully portrayed while shedding light on critical biochemical processes essential for human health.
