Regulation of water and solute transport across mammalian plasma cell membranes by prolactin

Repeated Exposure to Prolactin Is Required to Induce Luteal Regression in the Hypophysectomized Rat1

“…The loss of cells via apoptosis may not account for all of the observed weight and protein loss by the corpora lutea. PRL can affect sodium and water transport across the plasma membrane, leading to changes in cell volume [25][26][27]. PRL also alters calcium transport across the plasma membrane [28,29] and has been shown to affect protein synthesis via a calciumdependent system in the corpus luteum [30].…”

Concerning the circadian rhythms of prolactin, its secretion timing, and regulation of the affiliative mind

“…Additional evidence implicates prolactin in fluid homeostasis, somatic growth, and tissue remodeling. It contributes to electrolyte regulation via renal and gastrointestinal actions ( Horrobin, 1980 ; Shennan, 1994 ) and supports cellular proliferation and repair in epithelial, endothelial, and neural tissues ( Bole-Feysot et al, 1998 ). To date, over 300 distinct biological functions have been attributed to prolactin, mediated through endocrine, autocrine, and paracrine mechanisms ( Torner, 2016 ).…”

Hypothalamic Prolactin Receptor Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Levels, Prolactin Signaling, and Hyperprolactinemic Inhibition of Pulsatile Luteinizing Hormone Secretion Are Dependent on Estradiol

“…One of the least understood actions of prolactin is regulation of solute and water transport across mammalian cell membranes (1602). Studies in this area were motivated by the finding in lower vertebrates that prolactin stimulates solute transport across cell membranes and thus could be an osmoregulatory hormone (153).…”
