Summary.
The milk of three lactating red kangaroos (Megaleia rufa, Desmarest) was sampled at regular intervals and the whey protein fraction of each sample was subjected to starch-gel electrophoresis.
When the quiescent blastocyst resulting from post-partum mating resumed development, two new specific milk proteins appeared in the mammary secretion.
It is suggested that anterior pituitary secretion is responsible for this phenomenon. It is suggested also that the appearance of these proteins in the milk may be useful for the diagnosis of resumed development by the quiescent blastocyst of the red kangaroo.
Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
