摘要
Prolactin, a peptide hormone, is produced by lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates mammary growth and differentiation. Pituitary secretion of prolactin is stimulated by suckling and stress and is restricted by hypothalamic dopamine. It is recognized that prolactin is produced in a number of sites outside the pituitary, including the brain and lymphocytes. Prolactin is important in maintaining immune competence and has the potential to play a role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune illnesses.
