    Glossary Lactation

    biological process where mammals produce and secrete milk

    Lactation is the biological process by which mammals produce and secrete milk from the mammary glands to feed their young. This process is hormonally regulated, primarily by prolactin and oxytocin, and involves the synthesis of milk components such as proteins, fats, and lactose.
