Prolactin secretion patterns: basic mechanisms and clinical implications for reproduction.
Prolactin (PRL) is one of the most versatile hormones in the mammalian body affecting reproductive, sexual, metabolic, immune, and other functions. It is therefore not surprising that the neural control of PRL secretion is complex, involving the coordinated actions of several hypothalamic nuclei. A plethora of experimental data exists on the hypothalamic control of hormone secretion under vario...
متن کاملFibrogenesis: Mechanisms, Dynamics and Clinical Implications
Fibrosis is the pathological condition resulting in the growth of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or body system as a reparative or reactive process. In the field of clinical pathology, clinicians and medical scientists are endeavoring to translate experimental knowledge into effective, innovative treatments for a range of fibrotic conditions. The amelioration of whole organ functi...
متن کاملTrichothiodystrophy: from basic mechanisms to clinical implications.
Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is an autosomal recessive disorder with symptoms affecting several tissues and organs. The most relevant features are hair abnormalities, physical and mental retardation, ichthyosis, signs of premature aging and cutaneous photosensitivity. The clinical spectrum of TTD varies widely from patients with only brittle, fragile hair to patients with the most severe neuroecto...
متن کاملSeasonal patterns of prolactin and corticosterone secretion in an Antarctic seabird that moults during reproduction.
In avian species that have evolved life-history strategies wherein molt and breeding overlap, there are potential conflicts between the regulatory roles of baseline prolactin and corticosterone in parental care (positive) and moult (negative). We describe seasonal patterns of hormonal secretion, moult, and parental behaviour in sibling species of giant petrels (Macronectes spp.) which begin mou...
