Prolactin at moderately increased levels confers a neuroprotective effect in non-secreting pituitary macroadenomas.

PLoS ONE, 2022
ContextProlactin, a hormone synthesized by the anterior pituitary gland demonstrates promise as a neuroprotective agent, however, its role in humans and in vivo during injury is not fully understood.ObjectiveTo investigate whether elevated levels of ...

Utility of Cannulated Prolactin to Exclude Stress Hyperprolactinemia in Patients with Persistent Mild Hyperprolactinemia

Clinical Medicine Insights: Endocrinology and Diabetes, 2021
Background: Stress-induced hyperprolactinemia can be difficult to differentiate from true hyperprolactinema and may result in patients having unnecessary investigations and imaging.

Gender-specific reference intervals for serum prolactin concentrations before and after precipitation by polyethylene glycol

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2022
Prolactin, a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary, exists in three major forms in circulation. The macroprolactin form is biologically inactive but contributes to elevated serum prolactin concentrations.

Prolactin actions [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2013
Molecular genetics and other contemporary approaches have contributed to a better understanding of prolactin (PRL) actions at the cellular and organismal levels. In this review, several advances in knowledge of PRL actions are highlighted. Special emphasis is paid to areas of progress with consequences for understanding of human PRL actions.

Involvement of miR-106b in tumorigenic actions of both prolactin and estradiol. [PDF]

, 2017
Prolactin promotes a variety of cancers by an array of different mechanisms. Here, we have investigated prolactin's inhibitory effect on expression of the cell cycle-regulating protein, p21.

Metode pembuatan antiprolaktin pada hewan coba kambing lokal sebagai penghambat proses rontok bulu pada ayam arab petelur

Journal of Biological Researches, 2012
Anti-prolactin has a specific activity against prolactin. It neutralizes prolactin action in circulation. The effect of such neutralization is the inhibition of feather fall off process, so that hens may be able to produce eggs again. Anti-prolactin can
