Our studies of the relationship between prolactin structure and function have resulted in the development of pure prolactin-receptor antagonists. These molecules prevent endogenous prolactin from ...

Panel B shows serum levels of prolactin (blue ... and protein-domain structure. Variants and the predicted effect on protein are also shown. Panel E shows the alignment of the PRLR sequence ...

These symptoms were not associated with pituitary tumors or multiple endocrine neoplasia but were due to a heterozygous mutation in the prolactin receptor gene, PRLR, resulting in an amino acid ...

Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which is located near the bottom of the brain. Its production is controlled by other hormones called prolactin-inhibiting factors, which ...

A problem with an individual’s prolactin levels may indicate several health conditions. Prolactin may also affect a person’s fertility. A prolactin level test can help doctors identify the ...

Prolactin was found to induce mammary activity ... White made the point that the mystery of protein structure must be cleared up before scientists can understand how the hormones exert their ...

Inhibiting stress-induced pituitary prolactin before surgery reduces post-operative pain in female mice. Elevated prolactin, increased by pre-surgical stress, enhances nociceptor excitability and ...

Researchers have found a mechanism by which a hormone responsible for milk production blocks an oncogene that makes breast cancer more aggressive. Researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at ...

Now a University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka study has found prolactin also regulates body temperature during pregnancy. Senior author Dr. Rosie Brown, of the Department of Physiology ...
