title: Local control of the onset of mammary extraction of plasma triglycerides during lactogenesis in the goat.
abstract: In five untreated goats, mammary extraction of plasma triglycerides increased at parturition. In five goats that had as much secretion as possible regularly removed from one mammary gland beginning on d 143 of gestation, the change of triglyceride extraction occurred several d before parturition in the emptied gland but at parturition in the contralateral control gland. The experimentally induced early increase of extraction of plasma triglycerides preceded the increase of prostaglandin F alpha concentration in mammary secretion at parturition, and occurred despite abnormally high concentrations of progesterone in the secretion.
