TGF beta 1 attenuates expression of prolactin and IGFBP-1 in decidualized endometrial stromal cells by both SMAD-dependent and SMAD-independent pathways [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Decidualization (differentiation) of the endometrial stromal cells during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle is essential for successful implantation.

Prolactin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rhinoceroses – Another tool for assessing reproductive function and dysfunction in this taxon

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
For decades, progesterone and its metabolites have served as the primary biomarkers for monitoring reproductive activity in rhinoceroses, whereas protein hormones have received little attention despite their potential value in understanding reproductive ...

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.

Effects of prolactin on metabolism - changes induced by hyperprolactinemia [PDF]

, 2003
High prolactin levels during breast-feeding, is recognized to influence metabolism in order to supply glucose and fat for milk production. Pathologic overproduction of prolactin, hyperprolactinemia, is a condition primarily associated with reproductive ...

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 ...

Prolactin actions [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2013
Molecular genetics and other contemporary approaches have contributed to a better understanding of prolactin (PRL) actions at the cellular and organismal levels. In this review, several advances in knowledge of PRL actions are highlighted. Special emphasis is paid to areas of progress with consequences for understanding of human PRL actions.
