A possible role for lipoxygenase and epoxygenase arachidonate metabolites in prolactin release from pituitary cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Synaptic plasticity is the neuronal capacity to modify the function and structure of dendritic spines (DS) in response to neuromodulators. Sex steroids, particularly 17β-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4), are key regulators in the control of DS formation through multiprotein complexes including WAVE1 prot...
