Milk Secretion: Autocrine Control

M Peaker and CJ Wilde

Milk secretion is modulated by local chemical feedback inhibition, a mechanism that matches supply of milk to the demand. An inhibitor of milk secretion that is present in milk plays a major role in this inhibition. It is a constituent of the whey proteins, and its moleculars mass is in the range of 10,000-30,000 Da.
