Prolactin is an integral member of the immunoneuroendocronology network and appears to have a role in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases (Ref: DOI: 10.1007/s12016-009-8185-3)
During pregnancy, high circulating concentrations of estrogen and progesterone inhibit the action of prolactin on milk production. Following delivery, reduced estrogen and progesterone production allows prolactin to induce lactation.Current studies have suggested that there is increasing evidence supporting the role of prolactin in human breast and prostate tumorogenesis, especially when it is locally-produced.(ref:Endocrine Abstracts (2011) 26 MTE11 )
Prolactin was discovered 80 years ago. Prolactin is currently viewed by clinical endocrinologists as a hormone of pituitary origin, whose production is negatively controlled by dopamine, whose biological actions relate exclusively to lactation and reproductive functions, for which any genetic disorder is yet to be identified, and whose unique associated pathology is hyperprolactinemia, which is efficiently cured using dopamine agonists.
