Abstract
Aqueous extracts of rat milk stimulated growth hormone (GH) secretion from superfused pituitaries of two-day old rats. The GH stimulatory effect of milk increased with the time elapsed postpartum; growth hormone releasing hormone and thyrotropin releasing hormone seem to be the major milk borne GH releasing factors. These results indicate that milk intake may play a role in maintaining the high plasma GH levels observed in the neonatal period.
