TLDR
The daily intraperitoneal injections of ovine prolactin to Varanus flavescens induced a rise in serum calcium which persisted until the end of the experiment.Abstract:
The daily intraperitoneal injections of ovine prolactin to Varanus flavescens (10 I.U./0.2 ml/100 g body wt for 7 days) induced a rise in serum calcium which persisted until the end of the experiment.read more

Regulation of epithelial calcium transport by prolactin: From fish to mammals
TL;DR: The cellular and molecular mechanisms of the PRL-stimulated calcium transport in mammals have been elaborated and it is demonstrated that the duodenal calcium absorption in lactating rats was markedly enhanced by the suckling-induced PRL surge, presumably to provide calcium for milk production.

Influence of prolactin administration on the ultimobranchial body and parathyroid glands of the freshwater snake, Natrix piscator.
TL;DR: The ultimobranchial body of the prolactin treated specimens depicts signs of increased activity whereas the parathyroid glands exhibit reduced activity.

TL;DR: There is an increase in nuclear volume after 15 days prolactin treatment and few completely exhausted cells and degenerating cells have also been noticed on day 15.
Alterations in the ultimobranchial and parathyroid gland of the garden lizard, Calotes versicolor after prolactin administration
TL;DR: Prolactin treatment to Calotes versicolor provoked hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, and the ultimobranchial gland of prolactin treated lizards exhibit hyperactivity which is evident by a decreased staining response and increased nuclear volume of ultimOBranchial cells.
