“…Investigations into the possible galactopoietic action of thyroxine and iodoproteins continue to appear, and in general the results bear out earlier work which, as reviewed by Smith (1953), indicated that the galactopoietic effects obtained are temporary in nature and often correlated with a reduced length of lactation. Nevertheless, much work has been done recently on this problem.…”

“…The implication of a neurohormonal arc in the milk-ejection reflex has been further substantiated since the last review in this series (Smith, 1953). There can now be little doubt that the release of oxytocin from the posterior lobe of the pituitary takes place as a result of a nervous excitation following the milking or suckling stimulus.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
