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.

Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice

, 2006
Mammalian hair growth is cyclic, with hair-producing follicles alternating between active (anagen) and quiescent (telogen) phases. The timing of hair cycles is advanced in prolactin receptor (PRLR) knockout mice, suggesting that prolactin has a role in ...

Partial duplication of the PRLR and SPEF2 genes at the late feathering locus in chicken [PDF]

, 2008
Background One of the loci responsible for feather development in chickens is K. The K allele is partially dominant to the k+ allele and causes a retard in the emergence of flight feathers at hatch.

A long-lasting prolactin stimulates galactopoiesis in mice

iScience
Summary: Prolactin is the main hormonal driver of mammalian lactation. To sustain milk production, basal prolactin levels must remain elevated compared to nonpregnant states.

Do serum prolactin levels correlate with antibodies against desmoglein in pemphigus vulgaris?

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2016
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of skin, the etiology of which is not completely known. Despite the latter, anti-desmoglein antibodies play a proven role in the pathogenesis.

Hypoprolactinemia and hyperprolactinemia in male schizophrenia patients treated with aripiprazole and risperidone and their relationships with testosterone levels

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, 2021
Aim Several reports have shown that risperidone increases prolactin concentrations, while aripiprazole decreases prolactin concentrations. The frequency of abnormal prolactin concentrations in patients with schizophrenia receiving these drugs is still ...

Prolactin [PDF]

, 2013
Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone that is synthesized in and secreted from the lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. We are now aware that synthesis and secretion of prolactin is not restricted to the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, but ...

Serum prolactin overestimation and risk of misdiagnosis

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, 2019
Summary Background Falsely elevated prolactin measurements risk overdiagnosis, and unnecessary imaging and treatment. Design We conducted a clinical audit of 18 patients who presented with hyperprolactinaemia, followed by a laboratory audit of 40 split ...
