Pregnancy hormone reverses MS damage - The New Scientist has an article about prolactin and multiple sclerosis

Pregnancy hormone reverses MS damage

Extract:

"A hormone produced during pregnancy could reverse some of the neurological damage associated with multiple sclerosis, a mouse study suggests.

The finding could help explain why women with MS suffer fewer symptoms during pregnancy. And the results suggest that the hormone - prolactin - might one day be used to treat people with the disorder."
