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 ...

Prolactin in high‐metabolic risk pregnancies: Associations with maternal obesity and metabolic health [PDF]

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Low prolactin levels during pregnancy have been linked to adverse maternal metabolic health. We examined pregnancy prolactin levels in relation to maternal metabolic characteristics within an ethnically diverse cohort at high metabolic risk.

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.

Abnormal prolactin secretion is associated with changes in metabolic health biomarkers in acyclic female African elephants (Loxodonta africana)

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
Circulating prolactin aberrations (chronically high or low concentrations) have been shown to have strong associations with ovarian dysfunction in African female elephants.

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 ...

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

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 ...
