Factors associated with the level of prolactin in patients under remission from Alcohol Use Disorder: A gender perspective

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, 2021
Background Prolactin mirrors the dopaminergic activity in the brain which is key to understanding alcohol use disorders (AUD). Still, patients with AUD are a heterogenous group and there seem to be gender differences in the relationship between alcohol ...

Elevated Prolactin during Pregnancy Drives a Phenotypic Switch in Mouse Hypothalamic Dopaminergic Neurons

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Altered physiological states require neuronal adaptation. In late pregnancy and lactation, a sub-population of the mouse hypothalamic tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons alters their behavior to synthesize and release met-enkephalin ...

Prolactin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rhinoceroses – Another tool for assessing reproductive function and dysfunction in this taxon

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
For decades, progesterone and its metabolites have served as the primary biomarkers for monitoring reproductive activity in rhinoceroses, whereas protein hormones have received little attention despite their potential value in understanding reproductive ...

Do serum prolactin levels correlate with antibodies against desmoglein in pemphigus vulgaris?

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2016
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of skin, the etiology of which is not completely known. Despite the latter, anti-desmoglein antibodies play a proven role in the pathogenesis.

Are physiological oscillations physiological?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

A long-lasting prolactin stimulates galactopoiesis in mice

iScience
Summary: Prolactin is the main hormonal driver of mammalian lactation. To sustain milk production, basal prolactin levels must remain elevated compared to nonpregnant states.

Serum prolactin overestimation and risk of misdiagnosis

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, 2019
Summary Background Falsely elevated prolactin measurements risk overdiagnosis, and unnecessary imaging and treatment. Design We conducted a clinical audit of 18 patients who presented with hyperprolactinaemia, followed by a laboratory audit of 40 split ...

Corticotroph Tumour Type Influences Clinical Behaviour in Patients With Nonfunctioning Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumours. [PDF]

Endocrinol Diabetes Metab
Harbouring a silent corticotroph tumour (SCT) compared to a silent gonadotroph tumour, being older at surgery and having a larger preoperative tumour were found to increase the likelihood of having postoperative pituitary failure in logistic regression analysis (n = 77).
