Variations in the Response of Pituitary Lactotrophs to Oxytocin during the Rat Estrous Cycle

Although removal of dopamine inhibition is established as a major factor in prolactin (PRL) release, a large body of evidence suggests that hypothalamic oxytocin (OT) may serve as a PRL-releasing hormone in the rat.
