Introduction: Prolactin plays a significant role in lactation and prolactin levels are increasing physiologically in pregnancy and breastfeeding period. 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.
