is prolactin inhibits the release of milk from breast but stimulate milk production
1 answer
Yes, that is correct. Prolactin is a hormone that stimulates milk production in the breasts. It is secreted by the pituitary gland in response to the suckling or stimulation of the nipples. Prolactin promotes the growth and development of mammary glands, as well as the synthesis and secretion of milk components. However, it is the hormone oxytocin that is responsible for the ejection or release of milk from the breast, usually triggered by the suckling of a baby.
