Other hormones have contributed to calcium homeostasis in pregnancy like calcitonin, PTHrP, prolactin, placental
lactogen, and insulin-like growth factor 1 [2].
Increased mammary growth was observed in test female non lactating mice, as compared to controls when placental
lactogen was applied.
(26) The placenta is a major endocrine organ during gestation, and in the case of mice, a variety of placental cells, such as giant trophoblast, spongiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast cells, produce progesterone (P4) and placental
lactogen I/II (PL1 and 2) as well as several prolactin-like proteins in order to maintain pregnancy and determine the timing of parturition.

lactogen, progesterone, estrogen, and prolactin all play important roles in achieving a continuous production of maternal milk.").
For instance, during pregnancy, [beta]-cell mass can expand due to the action of circulating maternal hormones (prolactin and placental
lactogen).
Effect on iron status markers, serum erythropoietin and human placental
lactogen. A placebo controlled study in 207 Danish women.
The placenta produces a hormone called the human placental
lactogen (HPL), which raises the mother's blood glucose level and makes her body less sensitive to insulin.
Ternary complex between placental
lactogen and the extracellular domain of the prolactin receptor.
They are related to hormonal regulation of human placental
lactogen by inhibiting the release (hPL) from trophoblastic cells.
However, it shows increased expression of tissue as well as serum human placental
lactogen (hPL) [4].
