1932 O. Riddle et al. in Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. & Med. 1931–2 29 1211 We..have identified this same hormone, which we shall here call ‘Prolactin’ as the hitherto undefined pituitary principle which is essential for lactation in mammals.

1952 S. J. Folley in A. S. Parkes Marshall's Physiol. Reproduction (ed. 3) II. xx. 558 When first discovered it was variously named prolactin (Riddle), galactin (Turner) and mammotropin (Lyons). Recent American practice tends to favour the terms lactogen or lactogenic hormone.

1979 Jrnl. Royal Soc. Arts 127 416/2 We know that the blood prolactin level is directly related to suckling frequency.

2004 Red Oct. 126/1 Sex enhances your sense of smell—the body produces the hormone prolactin after making love, causing stem cells in the brain's smell centre to develop new neurons.
