Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactogenesis is the process of milk production and is triggered by the hormone prolactin. The increase in prolactin is induced by nipple stimulation, such as during breastfeeding. A slow drop in estrogen level and an increase in progesterone level are involved in the preparation of the mammary glands for lactation during pregnancy. A drop in oxytocin level is not necessary for lactogenesis and instead, oxytocin is needed for milk ejection reflex during breastfeeding.
