Lactotropocyte

Lactotropocytes - these are cells that are found in the human body and are responsible for the production of hormones necessary for the normal functioning of the mammary glands. These cells can be found in the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and thyroid gland.

Lactotropocytes produce the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for milk production in the mammary glands. Prolactin also affects the growth and development of the mammary glands, as well as the menstrual cycle in women.

In addition, lactotropocytes also produce other hormones such as growth hormone, thyroid hormone and adrenal hormone. These hormones regulate many processes in the body, including growth, development, metabolism and immunity.

However, not all lactotropocytes are the same. They are divided into two types: lactotropes and lactotrophs. Lactrotropes produce prolactin and other hormones, and lactotrophs are responsible for the growth and development of the mammary gland.



Lactotropic is a relationship between two objects, where one object, a lactotrope, directs the second, which is also a lactophore object. Lactotropocytes are young, actively dividing cells that direct blood cells to the mammary glands for milk secretion. These cells regulate the intake of calcium into the body.
