Alfred Donné discovered what he called "granular bodies" in a substance secreted during this process, colostrum. Mastitis may occur if a newborn undergoes an irregular form of this action, known as galactorrhea. The product of this process in humans contains high levels of immunoglobulin A, lysozymes and casein ("CAY-sin"), and this action is maintained by PRL and oxytocin, which cause a positive feedback mechanism. This action begins after progesterone levels lower and prolactin levels rise, stimulating the mammary glands. Breasts or udders facilitate, for 10 points, this action of secreting milk for the nourishment of offspring.
