The infusion of vasopressin in amounts thought to be released during water deprivation had no effect on the rate of milk secretion or on milk composition. These results do not support the conclusions of Konar & Thomas (1970) that vasopressin at physiological levels affects the rate of milk secretion, since the doses they used were very much higher and probably outside the physiological range. The implications of these findings and their possible adaptive significance are discussed.
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.
