though adrenal steroids are required for the production of alpha-lactalbumin by mammary gland explants , the physiological class of steroid activity ( mineralocorticoid , glucocorticoid ) remains to be established . alpha-lactalbumin production by mammary gland explants from mid-pregnant rats has been shown in previous studies to be increased by high doses of aldosterone , but not by deoxycorticosterone ;
