Explanation
Human placental lactogen and leutotrophic is a hormone responsible for lactation
Human placental lactogen (hPL) is a hormone released by the placenta during pregnancy.
Leutotrophic hormone stimulates the growth of the milk gland and secures milk only after delivery of the fetus plus the placenta.
It gives nutrition to the fetus.
It also stimulates milk glands in the breasts for breastfeeding.
Additional information:
Lactation is the process of producing and releasing milk from the mammary glands in your breasts.
It begins in pregnancy when hormonal changes signal the mammary glands to make milk in preparation for the birth of your baby.
