| Summary: | abundance of PRL secretors. In addition, during incubation addition, PRL protein is localized to the cephalic lobe of avian species is regulated mainly by stimulatory substances behavior was associated with a nearly 2-fold increase in the behavior, PRL-secreting cells had increased plaque area due cells were located in the cephalic lobe, and incubation differences are due to variations in the proportions of differences is not known. We hypothesize that these greater than males), anatomic distribution (cephalic greater lactation, immune response, metabolism, incubation and lactotrophs or to the amount of hormone secreted per cell. lactotrophs than males, nearly all of these PRL-secreting measures hormone secretion at the level of individual cells. of cellular phenotype represents a level of control for PRL of PRL-secreting cells. Indeed, females had 75% more parental behavior and crop milk formation. Its secretion in physiological processes such as mammary development and pituitary gland. It is involved in a variety of Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone secreted by the anterior proportions of pituitary cells that release PRL. Regulation secretion are due, at least in part, to changes in the secretion in addition to those previously recognized. secretion using the reverse hemolytic plaque assay, which secretors was localized to the cephalic and middle regions of such as vasoactive intestinal peptide. PRL secretion varies than caudal lobe) and physiological state (incubating greater than laying eggs) were concomitant to increased proportions the anterior pituitary. The cellular basis for these the anterior pituitary. We conclude that differences in PRL The objective of this work was to study differences in PRL to a greater secretory capacity, and the increase in PRL We report that increased PRL secretion due to gender (females with gender and physiological state of the animal.
