There might be different mechanisms during breastfeeding between prolactin and insulin levels. In order to highlighten this mechanisms we compared the plasma levels of glucose, insulin, prolactin, C-peptid in basal situations and after taking 75 gr carbon-hydrate, 20 gr protein, 23 gr fat in breastfeeding and in non lactating women.
