摘要：

Lactating female rats, separated from their litters for 6 hr, showed a dramatic elevation in plasma prolactin following a 15-min playback of ultrasonic vocalizations recorded from 7-day-old pups. Virgin females exhibited a smaller but still significant prolactin response to recorded pup calls. Control recordings of either background noise or adult ultrasonic vocalizations (22-26 kHz) had no effect on prolactin secretion even in lactating females. These results demonstrate that infant vocalizations can act as a stimulus for prolactin release and suggest that such communications may play a role in the maintenance of normal lactation. © 1979.
