Rationale for change
I think the generalization that all prostaglandins regulate cAMP levels is incomplete. F2a and thromboxane primarily bind FP and TP which are Gq linked. Simply updating to "primarily regulates" feels appropriate for the context of the MCAT. It could be updated to specifically refer to interacting with G-Protein linked receptors if desired.
