[Lactogenic and serum prolactin-like activity of the ewe placenta during gestation]
Abstract
Lactogenic activity of ovine placenta on the ovine mammary gland is demonstrated by in vitro experiments. Variations of this prolactin-like activity is measured daily during second half of pregnancy. Respective possible roles of ovine placental lactogen and prolactin are discussed.
