It has been previously reported that men with and without known disease can produce milk, but no studies to date have demonstrated that their secretion contains milk constituents produced specifically by the breast. The present study shows the presence of lactose, alpha-lactalbumin, and lactoferrin in the breast secretion of a 27-yr-old male who had galactorrhea associated with hyperprolactinaemia. The concentrations of lactose, proteins, and electrolytes in the breast secretion of this man are within the range of colostrum and milk obtained from normal lactating women.
此前有报道称，患有和未患有已知疾病的男性都能分泌乳汁，但迄今为止尚无研究表明他们分泌的乳汁含有由乳腺专门产生的乳汁成分。本研究显示，一名患有与高泌乳素血症相关的溢乳症的27岁男性的乳腺分泌物中存在乳糖、α-乳白蛋白和乳铁蛋白。该男性乳腺分泌物中的乳糖、蛋白质和电解质浓度在正常哺乳期女性初乳和乳汁的范围内。
