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 (PRL) is an important hormone with many diverse functions. Although it is
predominantly produced by lactrotrophs of the pituitary there are a number of other organs …

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 …

Prolactin (PRL) stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) either directly
through actions on endothelial cells or indirectly by upregulating proangiogenic factors like …

Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) are both endocrines that are synthesized and
released from the pituitary gland into systemic circulation. Both are therefore hormones and …

Activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and subsequent nitric oxide
production (NO) are events that mediate the effect of important angiogenic …

Ocular angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vascular tree, is
an important cause for severe loss of vision. It can occur in a spectrum of ocular disorders …

Vasoinhibins are a family of peptides derived from prolactin, growth hormone and placental
lactogen that act on endothelial cells to suppress vasodilation and angiogenesis and to …

Prolactin is best known as the polypeptide anterior pituitary hormone, which regulates the
development of the mammary gland. However, it became clear over the last decade that …
