Abstract:
Traditionally the immune system has been considered as autonomous. However, recent evidence has showed that there are bidirectionally communications between the neuroendocrine and immune system. It has been seen influences of gonadal, thyroid, suprarrenal and pituitary hormones. Of this, prolactin has emerged like a potential target to modify the immune response in some states of disease.
