prolactin         
[pr??'lakt?n]
¦ noun Biochemistry a polypeptide hormone from the anterior pituitary gland stimulating milk production after childbirth.
Origin
1930s: from pro-2 + lactation.
Prolactin         
Prolactin (PRL), also known as lactotropin, is a protein best known for its role in enabling mammals to produce milk. It is influential in over 300 separate processes in various vertebrates, including humans.

DRUG CLASS
Prolactin inhibitor; Prolactin modulators; Prolactin inhibitors; Prolactin releaser; Prolactin releasers; Antiprolactin; Antiprolactins; Anti-prolactins; Anti-prolactin; Prolactin stimulant; Prolactin stimulants; Indirect prolactin modulator; Indirect prolactin modulators
A prolactin modulator is a drug which affects the hypothalamic–pituitary–prolactin axis (HPP axis) by modulating the secretion of the pituitary hormone prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin inhibitors suppress and prolactin releasers induce the secretion of prolactin, respectively.

Prolactin

Prolactin (PRL), also known as lactotropin, is a protein best known for its role in enabling mammals to produce milk. It is influential in over 300 separate processes in various vertebrates, including humans. Prolactin is secreted from the pituitary gland in response to eating, mating, estrogen treatment, ovulation and nursing. It is secreted heavily in pulses in between these events. Prolactin plays an essential role in metabolism, regulation of the immune system and pancreatic development.

Discovered in non-human animals around 1930 by Oscar Riddle and confirmed in humans in 1970 by Henry Friesen, prolactin is a peptide hormone, encoded by the PRL gene.

In mammals, prolactin is associated with milk production; in fish it is thought to be related to the control of water and salt balance. Prolactin also acts in a cytokine-like manner and as an important regulator of the immune system. It has important cell cycle-related functions as a growth-, differentiating- and anti-apoptotic factor. As a growth factor, binding to cytokine-like receptors, it influences hematopoiesis and angiogenesis and is involved in the regulation of blood clotting through several pathways. The hormone acts in endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine manners through the prolactin receptor and numerous cytokine receptors.

Pituitary prolactin secretion is regulated by endocrine neurons in the hypothalamus. The most important of these are the neurosecretory tuberoinfundibulum (TIDA) neurons of the arcuate nucleus that secrete dopamine (a.k.a. Prolactin Inhibitory Hormone) to act on the D2 receptors of lactotrophs, causing inhibition of prolactin secretion. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone has a stimulatory effect on prolactin release, although prolactin is the only anterior pituitary hormone whose principal control is inhibitory.

Several variants and forms are known per species. Many fish have variants prolactin A and prolactin B. Most vertebrates, including humans, also have the closely related somatolactin. In humans, three smaller (4, 16, and 23 kDa) and several larger (so-called big and big-big) variants exist.

Exemples du corpus de texte pour prolactin
1. Mothers begin to produce prolactin hormones when they enter their seventh month of pregnancy. «All mothers have these changes but some of them lose their milk because of the wrong methods they use to nurse their babies,» she said.
2. Compared with females, male spotted sandpipers have much higher blood levels of prolactin, a hormone linked to maternal behavior (and crucial to milk production in mammals). Drunk with tender feelings, the sandpiper sire sits on the pair‘s eggs for the entire three–week incubation period and cares for the hatchlings for weeks afterward –– even as Mom, in many cases, is out philandering.
