Egg rejection is the most effective and widespread defense used by host species to counteract the extreme fitness costs frequently imposed by obligate avian brood parasites.Yet,the proximate mechanisms underlying betw...
Aim: Prolactin family hormones include growth hormone, placental lactogen and prolactin, which are able to regulate angiogenesis via NO and prostaglandins. However, their effects on vascular tone are not fully unders...
This study aimed to investigate the correlations among androgen receptor (AR) CAG repeat polymorphism, sex hormones and penile length in healthy Chinese young adult men. Two hundred and fifty-three healthy men (age...
Aim: To investigate the anti-hyperprolactinemia activity of casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, and elucidate its molecular mechanism. Methods: Hyperprolactinemia (MIHP) was induced by administ...
Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) how to regulate pro- lactin (PRL) secreting, cell proliferation and invasiveness in human prolactinorna. Methods: Ten patie...
Prolactin is a multifunctional hormone that exerts many separate functions and acts as an important connection between the endocrine and immune systems. There are increasing researches implicating the role of prolacti...
Animal model bearing pituitary prolactin-secreting adenomas (prolactinoma) induced by 17-β-estradiol (E2) in both eutopic pituitary and ectopic pituitary grafted under the renal capsule was generated. Northern blotti...
