Extrapituitary Prolactin: Distribution, Regulation, Functions, and Clinical Aspects*

1 Dec 1996

Abstract excerpt

PRL affects more physiological processes than all other pituitary hormones combined. Among these are the regulation of mammary gland development, initiation and maintenance of lactation, immune modulation, osmoregulation, and behavioral modification. At the cellular level, PRL exerts mitogenic, morphogenic, or secretory activities. This raises the question as to the mechanism by which a single hormone can...
