Immunoreactive prolactin in mouse urethral glands.

A Tsubura, S Morii, T Mori

    Acta Anatomica
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Immunoreactive prolactin was found in mouse urethral glands using an immunoperoxidase technique. This suggests a potential role for prolactin in urinary tract function.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Endocrinology
    • Immunohistochemistry

    Background:

    • Prolactin is a hormone primarily known for its role in lactation.
    • The presence and function of prolactin in the male urinary tract are not well understood.
    • Urethral glands are exocrine glands located in the urethra.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence of immunoreactive prolactin in the acinar cells of urethral glands in mice.
    • To explore the potential significance of prolactin in the urethral glands and their role in the urinary tract.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunoperoxidase technique was employed to detect prolactin.
    • Inbred strains of mice were used as the model system.

    Main Results:

    • Immunoreactive prolactin was successfully demonstrated in the acinar cells of urethral glands in specific mouse strains.
    • The study confirmed the presence of prolactin or related substances within these glands.

    Conclusions:

    • Prolactin is present in the urethral glands of mice, suggesting a potential local function.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific role of prolactin in urethral gland physiology and urinary tract health.
