The prostate response to prolactin modulation in adult castrated rats subjected to testosterone replacement
(2017-12-01)
Despite the androgenic dependence, other hormones, growth factors, and cytokines are necessary to support prostatic growth and maintain the glandular structure; among them, prolactin is a non-steroidal hormone secreted ...
Prolactin promotes a partial recovery from the atrophy of both male and female gerbil prostates caused by castration
(2021-12-01)
Background: The male and female prostates are controlled by steroid hormones, suffering important morphological and physiological changes after castration. Prolactin is involved in the regulation of the male prostate, ...
Prolactin: the bright and the dark side
(Oxford University Press, 2017-06)
Prolactin is a phylogenetically old signaling molecule whose gene can be traced to lampreys more than 500 million years ago. This fact poses the question of aprimitive function for prolactin, which would explain its retention ...
Opioid modulation of prolactin secretion induced by stress during late pregnancy: Role of ovarian steroids
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Background: The opioid system modulates prolactin release during late pregnancy. Its role and the participation of ovarian hormones in this modulation are explored in ether stress-induced prolactin release. Methods/Results: ...
Reproductive actions of prolactin mediated through short and long receptor isoforms
(Elsevier Ireland, 2014-01)
Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone with a wide range of physiological functions, and is critical for female reproduction. PRL exerts its action by binding to membrane bound receptor isoforms broadly classified as the ...
Use of Prolactin Receptor Antagonist to Better Understand Prolactin Regulation of Pituitary Homeostasis
(Karger, 2013-09)
he anterior pituitary is permanently regulated by processes of apoptosis and proliferation in order to maintain tissue homeostasis. Several factors have been implicated in this regulation and lately, prolactin (PRL) has ...
Zinc does not inhibit prolactin secretion during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in normal men
(2006-03-01)
Zinc (Zn ++) has been shown as an important physiological inhibitor of pituitary PRL release, and Zn ++ and PRL could be involved in a negative feedback regulatory loop. However, this inhibitory effect has not been detected ...
Effects of metoclopramide-induced hyperprolactinemia on the prolactin receptor of murine endometrium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INCNEW YORK, 2010)
Objective: To evaluate the effects of metoclopramide-induced hyperprolactinemia, on the prolactin receptor of murine endometrium. Design: Experimental study using the RNA extraction to detect tissue prolactin recepter ...
Effects of gonadectomy on prolactin and LH secretion and the pituitary-thyroid axis in male dogs
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-03-15)
The effects of gonadectomy on the secretion of prolactin, LH, TSH, and thyroxine were investigated. Blood serum hormone concentrations were analysed before and at 20, 120, and 180 min after a single iv TRH injection in ...
Influence of postnatal prolactin modulation on the development and maturation of ventral prostate in young rats
(Csiro Publishing, 2018-06-01)
Besides androgenic dependence, other hormones also influence the prostate biology. Prolactin has been described as an important hormone associated with maintenance of prostatic morphophysiology; however, there is a lack ...
