Abstract
Six completely depancreatized dogs kept alive by means of insulin and a special diet, and 4 normal dogs were injected with the lactation hormone obtained from the anterior pituitary gland. The secretion of milk was observed in all normal dogs. Five of the diabetic animals failed to lactate though the amount of hormone injected was greater, and the period of its injection much longer than that found necessary to induce lactation in the normal dogs. In a single depancreatized dog lactation followed the administration of the hormone.
