Description
Prolactin is released from the anterior pituitary gland. Its secretion is inhibited by dopamine released from the hypothalamus. After isolating prolactin from the pituitary gland, blood, and amniotic fluid, it was found to exist in several forms with varying molecular weights and to be structurally similar to growth hormone. Prolactin plays a key role in initiating and maintaining lactation, when its serum concentration physiologically increases. Pathological hyperprolactinemia occurs in hyperpituitarism and renal failure. Hyperprolactinemia causes impaired gonadal function in both sexes. In women, it can lead to amenorrhea and in men, impotence.
