Roles of prolactin and related members of the prolactin/growth hormone/placental lactogen family in angiogenesis

1 May 2002

Abstract excerpt

Prolactin, growth hormone and placental lactogen are members of a family of polypeptide hormones which share structural similarities and biological activities. Numerous functions have been attributed to these hormones, among which stand out their recently discovered effects on angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels are formed from the pre-existing microvasculature. Prolactin, growth hormone and...
