The Nonpregnant Uterus as an Endocrine Organ

ME Freeman

The mammalian uterus is well known as an endocrine organ whose secretions are responsible for the maintenance of pregnancy and the preparation of the mammary gland for lactation. There is now evidence that the nonpregnant uterus secretes a hormone that regulates pituitary function in the nonpregnant mammal. It secretes a protein that enters the bloodstream and is transported to the pituitary gland where it acts to inhibit prolactin secretion.
