Metabolism, 1964
Summary The present status of the chemistry of prolactin obtained from ovine pituitary glands has been reviewed. The phenomenon of polymerization of the molecule has been emphasized. Recent experiments resulting in the isolation of monomeric prolactin were described.

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1985
This review summarizes evidence suggesting a direct luteotrophic role for the hypophyseal hormone prolactin (PRL). This direct role consists of the capability to stimulate progesterone synthesis in vitro, the capability to maintain the membrane fluidity and receptors for luteinizing hormone and the capability to import substrate for progesterone ...

Pituitary, 2008
Medications commonly cause hyperprolactinemia and their use must be differentiated from pathologic causes. The most common medications to cause hyperprolactinemia are the antipsychotic agents, although some of the newer atypical antipsychotics do not do so.

AbstractThe relationship between elevated prolactin and infertility has been known for a long time, but the specific mechanism by which prolactin inhibited reproduction had been uncertain. The discovery of kisspeptin has provided novel insights into how prolactin might cause infertility, with extensive evidence that elevated prolactin inhibits ...

Pharmacology & Therapeutics. Part B: General and Systematic Pharmacology, 1975
The biology of prolactin is reviewed with special emphasis on the fu nctions of prolactin in mammals. The topics of discussion are: 1) cells of origin 2) methods of assay (bioassay luteotropic responses miscellaneous responses radioimmunoassay radioreceptor densitometric measurements) 3) biologic actions (effects related to reproduction growth and ...

Prolactin and immunomodulation
The American Journal of Medicine, 1993To review the recent exploration of the role of prolactin in immune function.Studies published that were identified through a MEDLINE search as well as through the bibliographies of those articles enumerated.Both humoral and cell-mediated immunity are compromised in hypophysectomized rats. The reintroduction of prolactin to these animals restores their

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2002
Prolactin (PRL) is a versatile hormone that is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and various extrapituitary sites including immune cells. Furthermore, PRL has widespread influences on proliferation and differentiation of a variety of cells in the immune system and is, in effect, a cytokine.

Prolactin is a protein hormone synthesized and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Because the monoamines dopamine and serotonin are important in the control of its secretion, prolactin has been the subject of much psychoendocrine research in recent years.

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2009
The relationship between prolactin and the immune system has been demonstrated in the last two decades, opening new windows in the field of the immunoendocrinology. Prolactin has an important role in the innate and adaptive immune response. Increased prolactin levels have been described in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus ...

Prolactin and the Prolactin Receptor
2001In mammals, prolactin is both an explicit inducer of mammary-gland development and lactation, and an integrator of multiple physiological adaptations during the post-mating phase of the reproductive cycle. These general features of the physiology of mammalian prolactin appear to have evolved from the effects of prolactin on parental physiology and ...
