Not let's answer this question.
00:02
Let's talk about prolactin.
00:03
Prolactin is a peptide hormone, okay? and the function of proletting is to regulate milk production in mothers.
00:20
So this is a function of prolactin.
00:22
And this prolactin is also well regulated.
00:25
Okay? it means this prolactin, for example, is under inhibitory control from the hypothalam.
00:30
The hypothalamus is going to produce a hormone called dopamine.
00:39
And this dopamine is going to inhibit lactotrophs via binding to the two receptors.
00:47
And so practically this dopamine normally inhibits prolactin release.
00:55
Prolating release, okay? so, for example, when there is destruction of the hypothalamus, you're going to have low dopamine levels, and hence it is not going to be able to regulate prolactin.
01:06
And you're going to have hyperprolatinemia.
01:09
Okay.
01:09
Then there are many other substances that are going to affect the release of prolactin for example those that increase the release of the producting r vipip you also have oxytocin you also have tier h okay these are going to stimulate or they are going to affect the release of prolactin for example in this case this question says suppose the woman had to have part of her thyroid gland surgically removed, she would most likely suffer from a condition known as hypothyroidism due to little thyroid function.
01:52
Okay, it says, predict how this woman's hypothyroidism would affect prolating levels in her body and which choice describes how surgical hypothyroidid hypothyroid would likely affect prolating levels...
