<. Maybe Jean will come up with one of her fabulous physiologic explanations :-) I loved the one on areolas today> Oh Pat, you make me blush. Isn't there some saying about "An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less"? My fascination with the anatomy and physiology of the nipple-areolar complex has kept me from reading up on pituitary/mammary gland matters to any extent further than the rest of you. Maybe Lisa Marasco, or someone else more familiar with that part of the fascinating equation of milk production, will contribute the insights that will help us all. Thanks for the compliment, nonetheless! Jean *************** K.
