  • Title: Current status of the rat prolactin releasing factor.
    Author: Shin SH, Papas S, Obonsawin MC.
    Journal: Can J Physiol Pharmacol; 1987 Oct; 65(10):2036-43. PubMed ID: 3123042.
    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.
