Introduction When Geoffrey Harris wrote his influential monograph on ‘Neural Control of the Pituitary Gland’, it was already apparent that prolactin, or ‘lactogenic hormone’ as he referred to it, might be controlled differently to the other

Introduction Serum prolactin levels are low during the first 2 weeks of life, in both female and male rats, and then gradually increases until puberty. The progressive maturation of the neuroendocrine network involving both prolactin

is continually challenged by weight gain and increasing insulin resistance ( Xue et al. 2010 ). Hormones play a crucial role in this process, especially prolactin. Increased β-cell proliferation coincides with the increase in prolactin (PRL) and

( Kaneko et al. 2008 , Konno et al. 2010 ). Decades of comparative study have revealed that a conserved function for prolactin (Prl) across vertebrates is the regulation of ion and water transport ( Bole-Feysot et al. 1998 ). In teleosts, Prl

Introduction Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone that is mainly synthesized and secreted from the anterior pituitary lactotrophs ( Freeman et al. 2000 , Cabrera-Reyes et al. 2017 ). With except the classical functions of PRL promoting

receptors can bind PACAP and VIP with similar affinity ( Vaudry et al . 2009 ). In mammals, VIP is well-documented as a stimulator for prolactin (PRL) release ( Christian et al . 2007 ) but the functional role of PACAP in PRL regulation is controversial
