the prolactin releasing inhibiting factor is secreted through dopaminergic pathway... so it should be dopamine
and yes... dopamine is counted as catecholamine

for the bbb part... at least dopamine cannot cross bbb or otherwise we would give dopamine directly to patients with parkinson's but not L-dopa)... i am not sure if it's the case for other catecholamines

estrogen... enlargment of the gland

progesteron... development of ducts and alveoli

prolactin... secretion of milk

oxytocin... contraction of myoepithelial cell

So, oxytocin ... but i just want to make sure of the psychological part of the Q

excellent !

Don't just remember oxytocin, but the rest will also be asked
