Multiple Endocrine Syndrome in SHN Mice: Mammary Tumors and Uterine Adenomyosis
Mammary gland and uterine proliferation in rodents depend on prolactin and ovarian steroid hormones.

This paper (a 1989 chapter) reviews and synthesizes experimental findings that in SHN laboratory mice, endocrine regulation via prolactin and ovarian steroid hormones controls both mammary gland growth and uterine proliferation, with abnormal outcomes including mammary tumors and uterine adenomyosis. At a high level, it draws on studies using hormone manipulations and pituitary grafts/strains to link prolactin signaling with adenomyosis development and with mammary tumorigenesis, emphasizing strain-dependent and schedule-dependent effects. A key caveat is that the chapter’s evidence is primarily from animal experimental systems and related prior literature, so it does not present new mechanistic data in humans or a direct clinical translation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis — uterine adenomyosis in SHN mice is discussed as part of a “multiple endocrine syndrome” driven by prolactin, directly relating to adenomyosis biology (and to the endometriosis corpus through shared hormonal/immunologic pathways).
