Sentence | Compound Name | Protein Name | Organism |
| 1 | Prolactin stimulates and potentiates adrenal steroid secretion in vitro. | Steroids | prolactin | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | Prolactin, alone and in combination with ACTH, was tested for its ability to release steroids from rat adrenocortical slices superfused in vitro. | Steroids | prolactin | Rattus norvegicus |
| 3 | Analysis of individual steroids in superfusate by RIA revealed that aldosterone release was most sensitive to prolactin, followed by corticosterone, androstenedione, and progesterone. | Steroids | prolactin | Rattus norvegicus |
| 4 | We conclude that prolactin is an adrenocortical secretagogue of physiological relevance in the rat, and that it could play a role in enhancing the action of ACTH to acutely release steroids. | Steroids | prolactin | Rattus norvegicus |
