Prolactin receptors and placental lactogen drive male mouse pancreatic islets to pregnancy-related mRNA changes.
Pregnancy requires a higher functional beta cell mass and this is associated with profound changes in the gene expression profile of pancreatic islets. Taking Tph1 as a sensitive marker for pregnancy-related islet mRNA expression in female mice, we previously identified prolactin receptors and place...
