Biological roles of growth hormone/prolactin from an evolutionary perspective by Yasumasa Iwasaki, Mitsuru Nishiyama, Dylan Corcoran, Takako Araki

“…We have recognized that the biological significance of GH/PRL can be summarized as follows: cytokines (metabokines) that regulate the shift of nutrients and even of whole bodies to live in the most appropriate environment(s) for conducting growth and reproduction. In this sense, the common keyword of the two metabokines is “shift” for environmental adaptation. …”
