Description

Mina Asadikaram and co-authors review prolactin as an immune regulator in this 2025 survey. The hormone is best known for milk production, but it is made across the body and its receptor sits on immune cells too. Levels swing with sex, life stage, stress, and illness.

High prolactin shows up often in viral infections and autoimmune disease. The hormone tunes killer cells, antibody makers, and signal proteins, and pushes B cells to raise antiviral antibodies. The authors weigh whether those effects help or harm per disease. They call for deeper work on the hormone's double life in health and sickness.
