role in pregnancy[edit]

"However, the relative affinities of hPL and prolactin for the human prolactin receptor have yet to be published and the effects of hPL on normal human mammary epithelial tissue have not yet been investigated, and so a definitive role of hPL in human mammary gland development during pregnancy has not been established at present" This is a direct quote from the quoted book, that dates back to 1983 - no new evidence since then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:C22:8C0B:9500:CDF9:BBA1:5B90:2862 (talk) 09:20, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Create HPL disamb[edit]

HPL should disambiguate (<Possibly fake word) into "Human Placental Lactogen" and "H.P. Lovecraft." 70.190.115.71 (talk‎) 13:04, 23 December 2006

somatomammotropin[edit]

I got redirected here from somatomammotropin. Doesn't somatomammotropin refer to a variety of hormones including growth hormone, prolactin and placental lactogen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.185.4 (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

capital[edit]

I've almost always seen this abbreviated hPL, rather than HPL. I replaced all the HPLs in this article with hPLs. If someone has a compelling reason why it should instead be HPL, please undo my edit.Onefireuser (talk) 21:54, 18 May 2013 (UTC)Onefireuser[reply]

hGH-V[edit]

article should differentiate from hGH-V, the placental growth hormone variant which replaces the mother's pituitary GH — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enz1 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
