It is well known that growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) share a series of close similarities in molecular developmental, structural, intracellular signaling, physiological and pathophysiological aspects. In the September issue, Professor Yasumasa Iwasaki, one of the Japan’s proud scholars in endocrinologic science, provides us with truly fabulous review article particularly focusing on the unique profile of GH and PRL as “metabo”kines with a perspective of evolutionary endocrinology. Our editorial team has a firm belief that all readers will definitely be fascinated and moved by the full of academic incense contained.
