Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1977 Prolactin exists in man as a distinct and separate anterior pituitary hormone from growth hormone. It is important in lactation and the control of gonadal function, although it may have a much wider and basic metabolic role, similar to its role in lower forms. In clinical endocrinology it is important as an index of pituitary and hypothalamic diseases;

Cortisol levels are positively associated with pup-feeding rates in male meerkats [PDF]
, 2006 In societies of cooperative vertebrates, individual differences in contributions to offspring care are commonly substantial. Recent attempts to explain the causes of this variation have focused on correlations between contributions to care and the ...

Prolactin and Autoimmunity [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The great asymmetry of autoimmune diseases between genders represents one of the most enigmatic observations among the mosaic of autoimmunity. Sex hormones are believed to play a crucial role on this dimorphism. The higher prevalence of autoimmunity among women at childbearing ages, disease onset/relapses during pregnancy, and post-partum are some of ...

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

Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice [PDF]
, 2006 Mammalian hair growth is cyclic, with hair-producing follicles alternating between active (anagen) and quiescent (telogen) phases. The timing of hair cycles is advanced in prolactin receptor (PRLR) knockout mice, suggesting that prolactin has a role in ...

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.

Prolactin and its receptor as therapeutic targets in glioblastoma multiforme [PDF]
, 2019 Although prolactin (PRL) and its receptor (PRLR) have been detected in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), their role in its pathogenesis remains unclear. Our aim was to explore their contribution in GBM pathogenesis.

Effect of hyperthyroidism on circulating prolactin and hypothalamic expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, prolactin signaling cascade members and estrogen and progesterone receptors during late pregnancy and lactation in the rat [PDF]
, 2017 Hyperthyroidism (HyperT) compromises pregnancy and lactation, hindering suckling-induced PRL release. We studied the effect of HyperT on hypothalamic mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Western blot) expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), PRL receptor (PRLR ...
