The neuroendocrine control of prolactin secretion is unlike that of any other pituitary
hormone. It is predominantly inhibited by the hypothalamus and, in the absence of a …

Introduction Prolactin is a peptide hormone mainly synthetized and secreted by the anterior
pituitary gland, but also by extrapituitary tissues, such as mammary gland, decidua, prostate …

Estrogen receptor‐α (ER‐α) and ER‐β exhibit fine differences in their distributions in the
rodent forebrain, and one such difference is observed in the paraventricular (PVN) and …

Magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular nuclei (PVN) show
considerable plasticity during pregnancy and lactation. Prolactin receptors (PRL-R) have …

Although prolactin (PRL) actions and expression in the brain have been shown, dynamic
changes in its intracerebral release and gene expression have still not been demonstrated …

The hormonal family of vasoinhibins, which derive from the anterior pituitary hormone
prolactin, are known for their inhibiting effects on blood vessel growth, vasopermeability, and …

The hormone prolactin (PRL) regulates neuroendocrine and emotional stress responses. It
is found in the hypothalamus, where the protein is partially cleaved to vasoinhibins, a family …

Prolactin (PRL) stimulates the secretion of oxytocin (OXT) and arginine AVP as part of the
maternal adaptations facilitating parturition and lactation. Both neurohormones are under …

The term inflammatory arthritis defines a family of diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), caused by an overactive immune system, and influenced by host aspects including …

Pregnancy and lactation cause long-lasting enhancements in maternal behavior and other
physiological functions, along with increased hypothalamic prolactin receptor expression. To …
