The effects of perphenazine on galactopoiesis were studied in 52 goats in the phase of declining lactation (September–December). At the beginning of September, perphenazine (1 mg) was stereotaxically implanted into the hypothalamus, sham-implantations being performed on control animals. After the operation milk yield decreased and stabilized at a new starting level in most animals of both groups. The average weekly milk yield of the sham-implanted goats gradually fell during the experimental period. This progressive decline in yield was greatly reduced if perphenazine had been implanted in the median eminence (ME). No galactopoietic effects were observed when the implantation was localized outside the ME.
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.
