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.

Effect of hyperthyroidism on circulating prolactin and hypothalamic expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, prolactin signaling cascade members and estrogen and progesterone receptors during late pregnancy and lactation in the rat [PDF]

, 2017
Hyperthyroidism (HyperT) compromises pregnancy and lactation, hindering suckling-induced PRL release. We studied the effect of HyperT on hypothalamic mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Western blot) expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), PRL receptor (PRLR ...

The maternal hormone in the male brain: Sexually dimorphic distribution of prolactin signalling in the mouse brain.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Research of the central actions of prolactin is highly focused on females, but this hormone has also documented roles in male physiology and behaviour.

Increased levels of prolactin receptor expression correlate with the early onset of lupus symptoms and increased numbers of transitional-1 B cells after prolactin treatment

BMC Immunology, 2012
Background Prolactin is secreted from the pituitary gland and other organs, as well as by cells such as lymphocytes. Prolactin has an immunostimulatory effect and is associated with autoimmune diseases that are characterised by abnormal B cell activation,

Olanzapine-Induced Hyperprolactinemia: Two Case Reports

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Background: Hyperprolactinemia is a common consequence of treatment with antipsychotics. It is usually defined by a sustained prolactin level above the laboratory upper level of normal in conditions other than that where physiologic hyperprolactinemia is

Uterine Notch2 facilitates pregnancy recognition and corpus luteum maintenance via upregulating decidual Prl8a2.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
The maternal recognition of pregnancy is a necessary prerequisite for gestation maintenance through prolonging the corpus luteum lifespan and ensuring progesterone production.

Association Between Prolactin and Incidence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Framingham Heart Study

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
Background Prolactin is an anterior pituitary hormone that may modulate the adverse effects of obesity. Prolactin has been associated with cardiovascular disease mortality, but less is known about whether prolactin predicts incidence of cardiovascular ...

Prolactin – friendly lactation hormone or hostile cancerogenic factor?

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Prolactin is a hormone secreted by lactotrophic cells of the pituitary gland and its main function is stimulating lactation. Binding prolactin by its membrane receptor leads to the activation of signalling pathway that enables cell proliferation and ...

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism [PDF]

, 2016
Given the current environment in most developed countries, it is a challenge to maintain a good balance between calories consumed and calories burned, although maintenance of metabolic balance is key to good health. Therefore, understanding how metabolic

Compound Heterozygous Variants in ZSWIM7 Gene Linked to Infertility and Its Role in Gonadal Development

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to elucidate the role of the ZSWIM7 gene in the etiology of infertility, focusing on its potential association with premature ovarian insufficiency and azoospermia. We investigated an 18‐year‐old female patient who presented with primary amenorrhea, hypoplasia of the uterus and ovaries, Tanner stage II breast and pubic hair ...
