The prolactin cell of a euryhaline fish, the tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus: a model for osmoreception
Prolactin (PRL) plays a central role in fresh water (FW) adaptation in teleost fish. Consistent with the freshwater-adapting actions of prolactin (PRL), the release of this hormone from the tilapia pituitary is stimulated as extracellular osmolality is reduced both in vitro and in vivo.
