Detailed explanation-1: -Luteinizing hormone (LH): This hormone stimulates ovulation in women and testosterone production in men. Growth hormone (GH): In children, growth hormone stimulates growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prolactin (PRL) released from lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland in response to the suckling by the offspring is the major hormonal signal responsible for stimulation of milk synthesis in the mammary glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prolactin is a protein hormone secreted by the acidophilic lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Chemically, prolactin is similar to a growth hormone composing of 199 amino acids, and forms after a 28-amino acid signal peptide are proteolytically cleaved from the prolactin prohormone (pre-prolactin).
