It is suggested that estradiol could increase 1,25(OH)2D3 by elevating PTH and decreasing serum FGF23; however, prolactin was able to increase 1,25(OH)2D3 by lowering serum FGF23. Moreover, prolactin was shown to be more potent in augmenting serum 1,25(OH)2D3 than estrogen itself, which is important in maternal and fetal calcium supply during late pregnancy and lactation.
