what hormone stimulates and sustains milk production?
DHEA-S is an androgen that is secreted by the adrenal gland. It is normal for women to have DHEA-S levels anywhere between 35-430 ug/dl. Most women with PCOS tend to have DHEA-S levels greater than 200 ug/dl. Prolactin is a pituitary hormone that stimulates and sustains milk production in nursing mothers.
