title: [Induction of beta-casein synthesis in the mammary glands of rats treated with plant extracts].
abstract: Water extracts from various african plants reputed to be lactogenic have been administered orally to mature virgin rats. After 4 days of treatment, the presence of beta-casein in mammary gland has been evaluated using a radioimmunoassay. Four out of the 7 plants examined proved to have an authentic capacity to stimulate milk synthesis.
