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 ...
STIMULATING ACTION OF PROLACTIN, OF SERUM CONTAINING ANTIBODIES TO PROLACTIN RECEPTORS, OF CHLOROQUININE AND COLCHICINE ON PROLACTIN RECEPTORS OF ISOLATED LIVER-CELLS
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 1983-01-01)
Prolactin receptor antagonism in mouse anterior pituitary: effects on cell turnover and prolactin receptor expression
(American Physiological Society, 2012-01)
Since anterior pituitary expresses prolactin receptors, prolactin secreted by lactotropes could exert autocrine or paracrine actions on anterior pituitary cells. In fact, it has been observed that prolactin inhibits its ...
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 ...
Prolactin and Prolactin Receptor Expression In Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Cancer
(Pathology & Oncology Research, 2015)
Smoking effects on prolactin at the end of pregnancy
(1995)
The blocking effect of nicotine on prolactin during lactation has been studied in animals and human beings, but limited research has been conducted in the last period of pregnancy in smoking mothers. In Chile, the majority ...
