Comparative Study of Lactogenic Effect and Milk Nutritional Density of Oral Galactagogue in Female Rabbit.
Article in Current protein & peptide science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHypogalactia and agalactia in lactating mothers are the major causes of child malnutrition, mortality, morbidity, and overall ill health. The development of such treatments requires a well-designed preclinical study with suitable laboratory animals, which needs to be improved. Thus, a suitably designed study with a laboratory animal to analyse galactagogue activity, along with an assessment of the quality and quantity of milk, is required.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the potential of rabbit as an animal model for studying lactogenic activity.
methodsThe structural homology of prolactin, gene prolactin receptor, and prolactin hormone in humans, rabbit, and rat was studied using BLAST and PyMol to assess similarity in the lactogenic system. Daily and cumulative milk production and pre-treatment (control) and post-treatment (three drugs) in rabbits were recorded and evaluated by analysing protein, fat, lactose, solid non-- fat, and ash values. All parameters were recorded on the 0th day and at the end of weeks 1, 2, and 3. Mammary gland histopathology was performed to evaluate the effects on mammary glands.
resultsHomology studies revealed that the sequences of the human and rabbit prolactin genes, receptors, and hormones had a high similarity index. Treatment with Domperidone, Metoclopramide, and Shatavari significantly enhanced milk production by enhancing prolactin secretion; only Shatavari increased milk nutrition. Enlargement of the tubuloalveolar ducts of the mammary glands was observed.
conclusionOur findings suggest that rabbits are robust, reproducible, ethically superior, and preclinically relevant animals for assessing lactogenic activity.
