    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Reproductive Biology

    Context:

    • Prolactin (HPRL) is a distinct pituitary hormone in humans.
    • Understanding HPRL regulation is crucial for reproductive health and oncology.
    • Hormonal influences during pregnancy and lactation require detailed examination.

    Purpose:

    • To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing human prolactin (HPRL) secretion.
    • To identify factors stimulating HPRL release.
    • To discuss the therapeutic implications of HPRL modulation.

    Summary:

    • This paper reviews the mechanisms controlling human prolactin (HPRL) secretion.
    • It lists factors that elevate HPRL levels and discusses the clinical significance of HPRL-inhibiting agents such as L-DOPA and 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine.
    • The role of HPRL during pregnancy and lactation, and its effect on hormone-dependent breast tumors, are also described.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the physiological regulation of prolactin.
    • Highlights the clinical relevance of prolactin in reproductive health and cancer.
    • Informs potential therapeutic strategies targeting prolactin pathways.
