The 25 pages that link to Prolactin, each with the reason it gives.

• DopamineRelated: Dopamine inhibits prolactin release from the pituitary.

• AntipsychoticRelated: D2 blockade can raise prolactin by removing dopamine's inhibition of its release.

• MilkRelated: Its signaling helps maintain milk production after birth.

• LactationRelated: Its release rises after birth and stimulates milk-producing cells.

• OxytocinCompared with: Prolactin produces milk, whereas oxytocin moves it from the breast.

• Mammary glandRelated: It stimulates milk-producing cells during lactation.

• Pituitary glandBroader topic: Elevated prolactin can disrupt menstrual cycles, fertility, and milk production.

• Growth hormoneCompared with: It is structurally related to growth hormone but has distinct principal functions.

• BreastfeedingRelated: Suckling helps maintain prolactin release and ongoing milk synthesis.

• Dopamine D2 receptorRelated: D2 receptors normally inhibit prolactin secretion, so D2 blockade can raise its levels.

• OrgasmRelated: Prolactin often rises after orgasm and is studied in post-orgasmic changes.

• Hypothalamic-pituitary axisBroader topic: Its dominant hypothalamic control illustrates inhibition within the system.

• Pigeon milkRelated: Rising prolactin levels stimulate crop changes associated with secretion.

• Thyrotropin-releasing hormoneRelated: TRH can stimulate prolactin release as well as thyrotropin release.

• RisperidoneRelated: D2 blockade can raise prolactin, sometimes causing sexual, menstrual, or breast-related effects.

• HaloperidolRelated: D₂ blockade can raise prolactin by removing dopamine’s inhibition of its release.

• Bull sharkRelated: Prolactin-related regulation supports the bull shark’s adjustment to freshwater.

• ProlactinomaRelated: Tumor cells release this hormone, driving most prolactinoma symptoms.

• Breast (anatomy)Related: It drives milk synthesis in the glandular tissue.

• Breast milkRelated: Its action supports ongoing production after lactation begins.

• DomperidoneRelated: Blocking dopamine’s inhibition of prolactin release can raise prolactin levels during treatment.

• FluphenazineRelated: Blocking dopamine signaling can raise prolactin levels during fluphenazine treatment.

• Human–animal breastfeedingRelated: Its role in milk synthesis distinguishes production from milk ejection.

• HyperprolactinaemiaBroader topic: This hormone is elevated in the condition and mediates many of its effects.

• UdderRelated: It helps stimulate milk synthesis in the udder after birth.
