In many tissues, including brain, prolactin action is predominantly mediated by the Janus
kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signal transduction pathway …

Prolactin has numerous biological actions in the brain, and transgenic mice are increasingly
being used to investigate these actions. The present study aimed to provide a detailed …

Prolactin stimulates dopamine release from neuroendocrine dopaminergic (NEDA) neurons
in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) to maintain low levels of serum prolactin …

In addition to its critical role in lactation, the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin also
influences a broad range of other physiological processes. In particular, widespread …

Estrogens and prolactin share important target tissues, including the gonads, brain, liver,
kidneys and some types of cancer cells. Herein, we sought anatomical and functional …

Pregnancy represents a period of remarkable adaptive physiology throughout the body, with
many of these important adaptations mediated by changes in gene transcription in the brain …

Objectives The study investigated the role of prolactin (PRL) in modulating STAT5 and
electrical activity of magnocellular neurones in the supraoptic (SO) nucleus of male rats …

Ample evidence indicates feedback relationships between pituitary prolactin and
hypothalamic dopaminergic neurons. Since the presence of prolactin receptors was earlier …

The hypothalamic neuroendocrine dopaminergic (NEDA) neurons are crucial in regulating
prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary. Rising prolactin concentrations stimulate these …

Tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) neurons, known as neuroendocrine regulators of
prolactin secretion from the pituitary gland, also release GABA within the hypothalamic …
