Aim: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a critical role in the excretion of xenobiotics into bile. Previous studies have demonstrated that prolactin (PRL) regulates biotransformation and bile salt transport. Here we investigate whether the capability of the liver to transport xenobiotics into bile is altered in hyperprolactinemic states studying the modulation of hepatic P-gp by PRL. Methods: We used lactating post-partum rats (PP), as a model of physiological hyperprolactinemia (15 and 21 days after delivery: PP15 and PP21, respectively), and ovariectomized rats treated with PRL (300 μg/day, 7 days, via osmotic minipumps, OVX + PRL). Hepatic P-gp expression and activity were evaluated by western blotting and using rhodamine 123 as substrate in vi...
