A drug that would stop the production of milk in the breast after a few days probably has which effect?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolactin is the hormone responsible for milk production in the breast. Inhibiting prolactin secretion would therefore stop milk production. Oxytocin, on the other hand, is responsible for milk let-down (the release of milk from the breast) and is not directly involved in milk production itself. Increased estrogen or progesterone secretion would not necessarily stop milk production.
