Journal ArticleDOI
Bovine prolactin, growth hormone, thyroxine and corticoid response to thyrotropin releasing hormone.
TL;DR: Preliminary experiments utilizing lactating cows and dairy bulls demonstrated release of prolactin by a single iv injection of 100 Mg synthetic thyrotropin—releasing hormone (TRH) and more completely the endocrine changes occurring in the bovine after TRH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bovine serum prolactin, growth hormone, cortisol and milk yield after ergocryptine.
TL;DR: Ten lactating Holstein cows were randomly assigned to receive, on 2 consecutive days, either 80 mg ergocryptine (Sandoz-Basel) in 50% ethanol, or 50%anol alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactational Performance of Rats Injected with Oxytocin, Cortisol-21-acetate, Prolactin and Growth Hormone During Prolonged Lactation
W. W. Thatcher,H. A. Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: The endogenous supply of oxytocin appeared to be sufficient for removal of the reduced amounts of milk synthesized during advanced lactation and markedly retarded litter weight gain and lactational performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of pregnancy, fetuses, fetal placentas and deciduomas to mammary gland and uterine development.
TL;DR: In rats, the influence of pregnancy, fetuses, fetal placentas and pseudopregnancy with and without deciduomas on mammary and uterine development (DNA content) and metabolism (RNA content) was studied and it is suggested that maternal hormones are the primary stimulant of mammary development during the first half of pregnancy.
