Obesity Pharmacotherapy: Current Perspectives and Future Directions
These simple precautions only take a few moments but contribute to safer treatment

Key Points The major 23 kDa prolactin isoform exerts its action via a transmembrane receptor, prolactin receptor (PRL-R), which belongs to the class of haematopoietic cytokine receptors Binding of prolactin to its predimerized receptor induces a conformational change in the receptor, which enables signal transduction Hyperprolactinaemia causes hypogonadotropic hypogonadism by inhibiting kisspeptin-1 secretion, which in turn disrupts hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone I secretion The first germline loss-of-function mutation in the gene that encodes PRL-R was reported in three sisters with familial idiopathic hyperprolactinaemia The 16 kDa isoform of prolactin has antitumoral and antiangiogenic actions and is involved in peripartum cardiomyopathy Abstract Prolactin is a hormone that is mainly secreted by lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and is involved in many biological processes including lactation and reproduction
