This study shows that prolactin suppresses arcuate kisspeptin neuronal activity during lactation, preventing fertility in mice.

This study shows that prolactin is necessary for paternal behavior in male mice, acting through CaMKII-expressing neurons, similar to its role in maternal behavior.

This study shows that prolactin suppresses voluntary physical activity in pregnant mice, with specific effects observed when prolactin receptors are deleted from certain brain regions.

This study investigates the acute effects of prolactin on Prlr-expressing neurons in the hypothalamus of mice, revealing diverse electrical responses across different brain regions.

This study identifies sex-specific neuroendocrine mechanisms in chronic pain, showing that prolactin receptor signaling in sensory neurons contributes to hyperalgesic priming in females but not males.

The paper replicates an association between the CREBRF rs373863828 minor allele and increased BMI but reduced T2D risk in New Zealand Polynesian adults, similar to findings in Samoan populations.
