Breastfeeding, Cellular Immune Activation, and Myocardial Recovery in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Summary: The etiology of peripartum cardiomyopathy remains unknown. One hypothesis is that an increase in the 16-kDa form of prolactin is pathogenic and suggests that breastfeeding may worsen peripartum cardiomyopathy by increasing prolactin, while ...

Intramuscular pathways of maladaptation in overtraining syndrome
Abstract figure legend The transition from adaptive overreaching to maladaptive overtraining and mechanisms through which excessive training load can lead to performance decline. Four interconnected pathophysiological domains are highlighted: neural fatigue, involving both central and peripheral components such as altered sensory feedback and reflex ...

Background Biologically, the monomeric form of prolactin is the most active. In measurement methods, all forms of prolactin are included in the assay; therefore, the presence of macroprolactin, causes a false increase in prolactin and misdiagnosis of ...

The prolactin receptor: Diverse and emerging roles in pathophysiology
Investigations over two decades have revised understanding of the prolactin hormone. Long thought to be merely a lactogenic hormone, its list of functions has been extended to include: reproduction, islet differentiation, adipocyte control and immune ...

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

Relationship of serum prolactin with severity of drug use and treatment outcome in cocaine dependence. [PDF]
RATIONALE: Alteration in serum prolactin (PRL) levels may reflect changes in central dopamine activity, which modulates the behavioral effects of cocaine.

Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...
