Vasopressin does not stimulate fatty acid synthesis in mouse mammary explants

Summary

Fatty acid synthesis in mammary explants from pregnant mice increased after incubation with insulin, cortisol, and prolactin. Replacement of prolactin with vasopressin did not stimulate this activity. Prolactin treated with an anti-vasopressin antiserum had activity similar to untreated prolactin. Thus, stimulation of this lactogenic function by prolactin is not the result of its contamination with vasopressin.
