research S1 OPIOID RECEPTOR AGONISTS AND SERUM PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGENE LEVEL: IS THERE A ROLE FOR PROSTATE CANCER CONTROL AND CHEMOPREVENTION?
Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.
research The prolactin receptor as a therapeutic target in human diseases: browsing new potential indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research The effect of melatonin implants administered from December until April, on plasma prolactin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine concentrations and on the timing of the spring moult in cashmere goats
Melatonin implants can change the seasonal prolactin levels and hair growth in adult cashmere goats but not in juveniles, and don't delay spring moult for better fiber harvesting.
