Prolactin stimulates the breast alveolar epithelial cells to synthesize milk components, including
- Lactose (i.e., the carbohydrate of milk),
- Casein (i.e., the protein of milk),
- Lipids.
Prolactin stimulates
- mammary gland ductal growth
- and epithelial cell proliferation
- and induces milk protein synthesis.
