Prolactin Hormone in Oral Lichen Planus

Overview

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most common mucosal diseases with autoimmune etio-pathogenesis with involvement of various cytokines similar to psoriasis.It generally occurs more commonly in females, in a ratio of 3:2. prolactin (PRL),It is a peptide hormone that has a role in autoimmune related diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus and , rheumatoid Artheritis. The role of PrL in OLP pathogenesis was never investigated.the aim of this study is to investigate the expression of PRL receptors in tissue biopsies of OLP patients.
