Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2020
Prolactin is named after its vital role of promoting milk production during lactation, although it has been implicated in multiple functions within the body, including metabolism and energy homeostasis.

Prolactin and Autoimmunity

Pituitary, 2005
The interrelationship between prolactin (PRL) and the immune system have been elucitaded in the last decade, opening new important horizons in the field of the immunoendocrinology. PRL is secreted not only by anterior pituitary gland but also by many extrapituitary sites including the immune cells.

Prolactin and Prolactin Receptors in the Lacrimal Gland

Experimental Eye Research, 1999
Light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization and Dot Blot analysis revealed intracellular localization of prolactin-like molecules and prolactin mRNA in epithelial cells of the lacrimal glands of rabbits. There was also positive immunostaining for prolactin receptors on acinar cells and some interstitial cells.

The control of progesterone secretion during the estrous cycle and early pseudopregnancy in the rat: prolactin, gonadotropin and steroid levels associated with rescue of the corpus luteum of pseudopregnancy.

Endocrinology, 1975
The hormonal factors associated with converting a corpus luteum of estrous cycle into a corpus luteum of pseudopregnancy were studied by measuring LH and FSH prolactin, estradiol and progesterone levels in decapitated rats during the 4-day estrous cycle ...
