Prolactin: Structure, Function, and Regulation of Secretion
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive survey of the current understanding of prolactin's function and its regulation and to expose some of the controversies still existing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine Control of Growth Hormone Secretion
TL;DR: The secretion of growth hormone is regulated through a complex neuroendocrine control system, especially by the functional interplay of two hypothalamic hypophysiotropic hormones, GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin (SS), exerting stimulatory and inhibitory influences, respectively, on the somatotrope.

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in mouse and rat brain: An immunocytochemical study
TL;DR: Fiber density was moderate in the tuberculum olfactoriu, anterior hypothalamus including the medial preoptic area, mediobasal hypothalamus, periventricular thalamus, lateral lemniscal system, parabrachial nucleus, nucleus solitarius, and area postrema.

VIP: molecular biology and neurobiological function.
TL;DR: VIP is a major factor in brain activity, neuroendocrine functions, cardiac activity, respiration, digestion, and sexual potency, and exerts its function via receptor-mediated systems, activating signal transduction pathways, including cAMP.

Localization of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) to central and peripheral neurons
L. I. Larsson,J Fahrenkrug,O. Schaffalitzky de Muckadell,Frank Sundler,Rolf Håkanson,J R Rehfeld +5 more
TL;DR: VIP, at present a gastrointestinal hormone candidate, appears to represent a new neuronal peptide occurring in both the central and peripheral nervous system.

Possible dual role for vasoactive intestinal peptide as gastrointestinal hormone and neurotransmitter substance
TL;DR: Findings challenge the concept of V.I.P. as a simple gastrointestinal hormone and suggest a possible neurotransmitter function in nerve-fibers.

TL;DR: Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide immunoreactivity is present in high concentrations in clonal lines of neuronal and glial origin and may have broad physiological significance.

Dopamine in hypophysial portal plasma of the rat during the estrous cycle and throughout pregnancy
TL;DR: It is concluded that dopamine is secreted into hypophysial portal blood in significant quantities during pregnancy, that hypothalamic secretion of dopamine in cyclic rats is greatest during the day of estrus and early diestrus and at least on theDay of proestrus, and that these findings support the view that dopamine of hypothalamic origin may have an important role in the regulation of anterior pituitary function.

Hypothalamic-pituitary vasculature: evidence for retrograde blood flow in the pituitary stalk.
TL;DR: Retrograde transport ofpituitary hormones in the pituitary stalk vasculature was investigated in anesthetized male rats in which the pituitsary gland was intact and in animals in which it had been removed 30 to 60 min before use.
