Autoimmunity Reviews, 2012
Sex hormones, especially estrogen and prolactin (PRL), have an important role in modulating the immune response. PRL is secreted from the pituitary gland as well as other organs and cells particularly lymphocytes. PRL has an immune stimulatory effect and promotes autoimmunity.

Pharmacology & Therapeutics. Part B: General and Systematic Pharmacology, 1975
The purification of prolactin is simplified by the strong binding of the hormone to pituitary tissue. An extreme alkaline or acidic pH is required to effectively extract prolactin and this provides a convenient way of removing a large number of serum and pituitary proteins by an initial extraction near neutrality.

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 ...

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.

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.

Hypothyroidism-induced hyperprolactinemia, with or without clinical manifestations, is reported in a short case in addition to the results of basal and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-induced prolactin values in primary hypothyroidism. In comparison with an age- and sex-matched group, basal- (P less than 0.02) and TRH-induced (P less than 0.02 ...

Several reports indicate that raised serum prolactin concentrations occur in 15 to 20 per cent of women with amenorrhea1 , 2 and that when the prolactin levels are reduced, normal ovulation cycles and fertility return.3 , 4 Successful management of these cases depends on reliable identification of hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea and accurate diagnosis of

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 ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses about prolactin, which is the specific hypophysiotropin that promotes lactation in the pregnant mammal. Prolactin is distinguished from other pituitary tropins by its inhibitory regulation originating in the central nervous system, that is, the hypothalamus, by lack of a reciprocal peripheral feedback mechanism;
