Abstract
Prolactin has proliferative and differentiative effects on numerous types of. cells derived from several animal species (Nicoll, 1974). Among these various functions of prolactin is a role in the regulation of reproductive processes in mammals. In this paper we present the results of investigations concerning the influence of prolactin on the pig ovary, both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, to present the progress of studies on mechanisms of prolactin action on ovarian cells, we include the results of studies performed on rats, in which the role of prolactin in the regulation of ovarian functions is well known.
