摘要: The marsupial newborn is immature and the mother has capacity to alter milk composition significantly during lactation, presumably meet nutritional requirements of developing young. Furthermore, macropodid marsupials may practice asynchronous concurrent lactation (ACL)7whereby provides which differs in all major components from adjacent mammary glands for two young different ages. This phenomenon suggests that local regulation function, addition endocrine stimuli, likely be important controlling composition. paper explores possibility changes sucking patterns represent first step a mechanism signal gland putative autocrine-induced
