Prolactin biochemistry

The pharmacokinetics of morphine have been studied,201-203 as has its receptor binding,204-206 and its effects on hypothermia,207 on calcium uptake by synaptosomes208 and lysed synaptosomes,209 on metabolism of catecholamine in brain,210 on levels of corticosteroids and growth hormone in plasma,211 on leuteinising hormone,212 follicle-stimulating hormone,212 and prolactin,212-215 on neuroendocrine function,216 on brain function and biochemistry,217-226 on behaviour,227-240 on the gastrointestinal tract241 and on the cardiovascular...
