The lactogenic effect of adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) injected into pseudopregnant rabbits has been confirmed. A synthetic partial ACTH peptide (Synacthen) was also lactogenic. The sensitivity to local lactogenic stimuli of the mammary glands of ACTH-treated rabbits and rabbits treated with corticosteroids was greater than that in untreated rabbits. The findings are discussed in relation to the factors controlling lactogenesis.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
