Abstract
The increase activity of .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase in rat mammary tissue at the onset of lactation involves prolactin. The timing and magnitude of these changes and its prolactin requirement suggest an important role in mammary function.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
