(PRL) The hormones produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of milk in the breasts. Produced in increasing amount during pregnancy, although milk secretion is postponed until levels of estrogen and progesterone fall after the baby is born. For more on prolactin in the animal kingdom, and its importance in being produced by decidual cells in pregnancy, read the box, The fishy side of prolactin. See also bromocriptine, dopamine, hyperprolactinemia and serum prolactin.
