Abstract
The release of prolactin is governed by both inhibiting and releasing factors. Basal plasma concentration of prolactin is controlled mainly through inhibition by a prolactin release-inhibiting factor (PIF), while acute stimulation of prolactin release is believed to be caused by a prolactin-releasing factor (PRF). It is the general consensus that PIF is dopamine. The PRF plays an important role in stimulation of prolactin release, and there are promising putative PRFs.Entities:
