Nanotechnology is rapidly growing with nanoparticles produced and utilized in a wide range
of commercial products throughout the world. For example, silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) are …

Prolactin is a hormone that is mainly secreted by lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary
gland, and is involved in many biological processes including lactation and reproduction …

Prolactin is a 23 kDa single chain protein of 199 amino acids synthesised and released
principally by lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary gland. The secretion is mainly under …

It is now apparent that regulation of blood vessel growth contributes to the classical actions
of hormones on development, growth, and reproduction. Endothelial cells are ideally …

Living organisms represent, in essence, dynamic interactions of high complexity between
membrane‐separated compartments that cannot exist on their own, but reach behaviour in …

This review describes the positive effects of growth hormone (GH) on the cardiovascular
system. We analyze why the vascular endothelium is a real internal secretion gland, whose …

Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone involved in many biological functions. In some species, there is
a family of PRL-related genes; such is the case in the mouse and rat. The actions of …

The N-terminal fragment of prolactin (16K PRL) inhibits tumor growth by impairing
angiogenesis, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we found that 16K PRL …

This study was undertaken to determine whether silver nanoparticles (Ag-45nm NPs) induce
selective and specific biological effects, such as induction of proliferation and nitric oxide …

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 …
