In Vitro Studies on the Secretion of Human Prolactin and Growth Hormone

  • Chapter
Synthesis and Release of Adenohypophyseal Hormones

Part of the book series: Biochemical Endocrinology ((BIOEND))

Abstract

The mechanisms that regulate the secretion of human prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) are varied and complex. No attempt will be made in this chapter to review in detail their neuroendocrine control or the multiplicity of physiological stimuli and pharmacological agents that are involved in their regulation.
