Prolactin release inhibiting

Prolactin (PRL) Protein, MW 20,000 Prolactin release factor (PRF) may or may not be identical to thyrotropin-releasing hormone Prolactin release-inhibiting factor (PIF) most likely dopamine Supports lactation... [Pg.395]

Some of the effects of antipsychotic drugs on sexual function have been attributed by Aizenberg et al. to increased prolactin secretion by the anterior pituitary (74, 76), other effects may result from their specific autonomic actions (75). Prolactin secretion by the anterior pituitary is tonically inhibited by the hypothalamus, with dopamine acting as the prolactin release-inhibiting factor (PIF). Thus, conventional neuroleptics cause dose-related increases in serum prolactin levels (hy-... [Pg.609]

Prolactin release-inhibiting hormone or factor, prolactostatin. [Pg.301]

Prolactostatin, prolactin release-inhibiting hormone, PRIH or PIH, prolactin release-inhibiting factor, PRIF, a hypothalamic substance of (until now) unknown structure that inhibits the release of prolactin. [Pg.302]

PIH acronym of prolactin release inhibiting hormone (see Releasing hormones). [Pg.522]

Prolactin release Inhibiting hormone see Releasing hormones. [Pg.544]

Prolactin releasing factor (PRF), prolactin releasing hormone, prolactoliberin a hormone thought to be identical with thyrotropin releasing factor, llie structure of Prolactin release inhibiting hormone (PIH) (prolactostatin) is unknown. PRF promotes, whereas PIH inhibits the synthesis and secretion of prolaction by the anterior pituitary. [Pg.601]

PROLACTIN RELEASE-INHIBITING FACTOR (PIF) AND PROLACTIN-RELEASING... [Pg.183]

A polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in both males and females. The highest serum levels occur in pregnancy, when, along with other hormones, it promotes lactation and mammary gland growth. Prolactin secretion, unlike other pituitary hormones, is limited by a hypothalamic prolactin-release inhibiting factor (PIF). [Pg.295]

Prolactin Release Inhibiting Factor. PIF. and Prolactin Releasing Factor. PRF - There is physiological evidence that the secretion of prolactin is under some sort of tonic inhibition by the hypothalainus ". Descriptions of attempts to purify this factor have placed it in or near the zone of material having LRF releasing activity in gel filtration experiments. LRF does not stimulate or inhibit the release of prolactin in vivo or vitro 63, No meaningful chemistry on the nature of this factor is available. [Pg.198]
