In mammals, milk provision is crucial to offspring survival and growth from birth to weaning. Milk deficiency early in life may cause death or changes in the progeny metabolism that later may lead to obesity and metabolic disorders. This study investigates milk ejection (ME) the first day after birth (D1) in F(2) females from the intercross of LG/J and SM/J inbred mice strains. The absence of milk in F(3) pups'...
