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.

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

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.

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 stimulation of prolactin receptors in rat liver
Life Sciences, 1975Abstract Hypophysectomy of the female rat results in a loss of prolactin receptors from the liver. Seventy percent of specific prolactin binding is lost within 24 hours; by 48 hours receptor levels are less than 5% of those found in livers from intact rats.

We have described the expression of the prolactin (PRL) gene and the occurrence of PRL-like immunoreactive proteins in the hypothalamic-neurophypophyseal system of the rat. Here, we investigated the nature of neurohypophyseal PRL-like antigens, by studying the biological activity of medium conditioned by incubated neurohypophyses in specific bioassays ...

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1980
The principal physiologic effect of PRL in human females is the initiation of lactation. The cellular events leading to actual secretion of breast milk are reasonably well defined in the experimental animal. Other than the direct effects on breast tissue in pregnancy, prolactin's role at puberty, during the menstrual cycle, and in pregnancy is poorly ...
