Title:
RFRP-CONTAINING PROLACTIN SECRETION REGULATORY AGENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/066134
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A polypeptide having effects of promoting and inhibiting the secretion of prolactin. Owing to these effects, this polypeptide is useful as a prolactin secretion promoter in preventives and remedies for various diseases in which prolactin secretion participates (for example, hypoovarianism, spermatic underdevelopment, menopause and hypothyroidism), and as a prolactin secretion inhibitor in preventives and remedies for various diseases in which prolactin secretion participates (for example, pituitary tumor, diencephalon tumor, menstrual disorder, autoimmune diseases, prolactinoma, sterility, impotence, amenorrhea, lactorrhea, hyperpituitarism, Chairi-Frommel syndrome, Argonz-del Castilo syndrome, Forbes-Albright syndrome, lymphoma, Sheehan's syndrome and spermatogenesis disorder.
