    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    Prolactin, a major hormone of the HPP axis.. The hypothalamic–pituitary–prolactin axis (HPP axis), also known as the hypothalamic–pituitary–mammary axis or hypothalamic–pituitary–breast axis, is a hypothalamic–pituitary axis which includes the secretion of prolactin (PRL; luteotropin) from the lactotrophs of the pituitary gland into the circulation and the subsequent action of ...

  3. Hypothalamic–pituitary hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    These hormones are prolactin, growth hormone, TSH, adrenocorticotropic hormone, FSH and LH. They are all released by anterior pituitary. Some have targets in glands and some with direct function. Anterior pituitary is an amalgam of hormone producing glandular cells. There are conditions related to the limbic system which regulate the hormone ...

    It is secreted heavily in pulses in between these events. Prolactin plays an essential role in metabolism, regulation of the immune system and pancreatic development. [6] [7] Discovered in non-human animals around 1930 by Oscar Riddle [8] and confirmed in humans in 1970 by Henry Friesen, [9] prolactin is a peptide hormone, encoded by the PRL ...

  5. Prolactin modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolactin_modulator

    A prolactin modulator is a drug which affects the hypothalamic–pituitary–prolactin axis (HPP axis) by modulating the secretion of the pituitary hormone prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin inhibitors suppress and prolactin releasers induce the secretion of prolactin, respectively. [1] [2]

  6. Releasing and inhibiting hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Releasing_and_inhibiting...

    Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones are hormones whose main purpose is to control the release of other hormones, either by stimulating or inhibiting their release. They are also called liberins (/ ˈ l ɪ b ə r ɪ n z /) and statins (/ ˈ s t æ t ɪ n z /) (respectively), or releasing factors and inhibiting factors.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolactin_cell

    A prolactin cell (also known as a lactotropic cell, epsilon acidophil, lactotrope, lactotroph, mammatroph, mammotroph) is a cell in the anterior pituitary which produces prolactin (a peptide hormone) in response to hormonal signals including dopamine (which is inhibitory), thyrotropin-releasing hormone and estrogen (especially during pregnancy), which are stimulatory.

    The failure to breastfeed and amenorrhea no more periods, were seen as the syndrome (a collection of symptoms), but we now view Sheehan's as the pituitary failing to secrete 1-5 of the 9 hormones that it normally produces (the anterior (front) lobe of the pituitary produces FSH, LH, prolactin, ACTH (Adreno-cortico-trophic hormone),TSH (Thyroid ...
