- Prolactin - Functions - Regulation - Secretion - TeachMePhysiology
Prolactin is one of the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland It has a variety of roles but is particularly important in breast development and production of breast milk in females This article will discuss prolactin, how its secretion is regulated and relevant clinical conditions
- Prolactin and Energy Homeostasis: Pathophysiological Mechanisms and . . .
Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone mainly synthesized and secreted by the lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary It is also produced in extrapituitary tissues by different cell types including lymphocytes
- Prolactin | Hormone Regulation Role in Reproduction | Britannica
High serum prolactin concentrations inhibit secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, thereby decreasing the secretion of gonadotropins (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone), and may also inhibit the action of gonadotropins on the gonads
- Prolactin and the physiological regulation of its secretion. A review
Prolactin variants, ranging from 14 to <90 kDa, released in vitro from the pituitary of lactating, pregnant and steroid-treated female or male rats stimulates PRL secretion from pituitary lactotrophs of male rats (Mena et al , 2010) The main effects on PRL release are provoked by the 23 to 46 kDa PRL variants (Mena et al , 2010) Glycosylated PRL
- Prolactin Disorders: From Basic Science to Clinical Management . . .
This book is a comprehensive resource covering prolactin physiology and pathophysiology and the care of patients with prolactin-related disorders, discussing anatomy and physiology of the pituitary with emphasis on diagnosis and management of clinical issues
- Prolactin: Mechanism and Action | Hormones | Endocrinology
Control of Prolactin Secretion: Prolactin is unique among the anterior pituitary hormones in that its release is normally under tonic inhibition by the hypothalamus This is exerted by dopaminergic tracts that secrete dopamine (prolactin-inhibiting hormone, PIH) at the median eminence
