The nervous system communicates with peripheral tissues through nerve fibres and the
systemic release of hypothalamic and pituitary neurohormones. Communication between …

Transcription of numerous mammalian genes is highly pulsatile, with bursts of expression
occurring with variable duration and frequency. The presence of this stochastic or …

Elephants experience a number of health issues that can contribute to their well-being and
survival. In managed populations, housing conditions and management practices can …

Background. Prolactin (PRL) level is proposed to be associated with the severity of psoriasis
although the previous studies reported different results. Objective. To find the association …

Recognised for its key role in lactation, it is less well appreciated that the neurohormone
prolactin (PRL) is actually one of the most pleiotropic hormones known. Not only does PRL …

The hormone prolactin (PRL) is best recognised for its indispensable role in mammalian
biology, specifically the regulation of lactation. Bearing in mind that the mammary gland is a …

Background Prolactin (PRL) is a pituitary‐derived neuropeptide hormone that has been
suggested to promote the development of psoriasis, a Th17/Th1‐mediated inflammatory …

Background: Psoriasis is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune chronic skin disorder in which an
environmental factor, perhaps a viral antigen, induces T cells to produce cytokines. These …

Human scalp skin and hair follicles (HFs) are extra-pituitary sources of prolactin (PRL).
However, the intracutaneous regulation of PRL remains poorly understood. Therefore we …

Prolactin (PRL) is well recognised for its role (s) in mammary gland development and
function. Moreover, its role in skin biology, including the potent regulation of human hair …
