Spinal pathway of the milk-ejection reflex in the rat

The effects of lesions of the spinal cord on the milk-ejection reflex evoked by suckling were studied in urethane-anesthetized lactating rats. All lesions were made between C6 and C7 vertebrae and milk ejection was monitored by recording intramammary pressure. In the first experiment on the rats wit...

description The effects of lesions of the spinal cord on the milk-ejection reflex evoked by suckling were studied in urethane-anesthetized lactating rats. All lesions were made between C6 and C7 vertebrae and milk ejection was monitored by recording intramammary pressure. In the first experiment on the rats with bilateral lesions, a 3-h suckling test with 5 pups on each side was performed. Eleven (84.6%) of 13 rats with the section of the dorsal funiculus (Group 2), and 12 (85.7%) of 14 rats with the combined section of the dorsal and ventral funiculi (Group 4) displayed regular milk ejection. The incidence of milk ejection in both groups was not significantly different from 81.8% (9 rats) of the 11 sham-operated rats (Group 1). In contrast, none of the 12 rats with bilateral section of the lateral funiculus (Group 3) displayed milk ejection and the incidence of milk ejection was significantly lower than that in Group 1. In the second experiment on the rats with unilateral section of the lateral funiculus, bilateral suckling with 10 pups (5 pups on each side) and unilateral suckling (both ipsilateral and contralateral to the lesion) with 5 pups were consecutively performed in the 10 rats. Milk ejection was induced in 50% by contralateral suckling and in 100% by bilateral suckling, and the incidence was significantly higher than that (0%) observed during ipsilateral suckling. A significant difference in the incidence of milk ejection was also observed between contralateral and bilateral sucklings.
