Prolactin receptor signaling is essential for perinatal brown adipocyte function: a role for insulin-like growth factor-2.
The lactogenic hormones prolactin (PRL) and placental lactogens (PL) play central roles in reproduction and mammary development. Their actions are mediated via binding to PRL receptor (PRLR), highly expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT), yet their impact on adipocyte function and metabolism remain...
