Binding of prolactin to the rat mammary gland is low during pregnancy and only increases at parturition (Holcomb, Costlow, Bushchow & McGuire, 1976). Holcomb et al. (1976) have suggested that failure to demonstrate binding of prolactin may be related to occupancy of the prolactin receptor by placental lactogen. However, the rabbit apparently does not produce a placental lactogen (Kelly, Tsushima, Shiu & Friesen, 1976; McNeilly & Friesen, 1977), and it was therefore of considerable interest to determine whether the results of binding of prolactin to the rabbit mammary gland during pregnancy showed significant differences from those obtained in the rat.
Mammary glands were taken from pregnant New Zealand White rabbits killed by an i.v. overdose of sodium pentobarbitone on each of days 10, 15, 20, 25, 28, 29, 30 and
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.
