Why is prolactine necessary for NBE?
April 19 2007 at 7:14 AM cups2b (no login)
In puberty, estrogen controls the growth of the ducts and progesterone controls the growth of the glandular buds. Then fat cells are deposited in the breasts. During pregnancy, prolactine becomes active to prepare the breasts for milk production and enlarges the breasts temporarily. The enlargement caused by prolactine, and later the precense of milk, goes away after the breastfeeding stops.
Several people here on the board claim that the breast massage produces prolactine which is necessary for NBE. Why? Will someone please explain to me why Prolactine is necessary for breast growth? It doesn't make sense to me. If we don't need prolactine to develop breasts during puberty, why is it necessary now?
Several members have grown well without massaging religiously according to the statements made here, and most reports about massage results tell us that the breasts swell up as a result of the massage but then the swelling disappears if massage stops, and people see this as "shrinking" when it in fact is not. I haven't seen any evidence that massage gives permanently LASTING growth of breasts on it's own unless the person is taking herbs, boobie foods or PM.
I know massage is good to clear out blockages and increase circulation so hormones can flow freely to the breasts, but please tell me what the connection between prolactine and NBE is.

I have wondered the same thing cups2b.
From all the research I've done, prolactin levels are only high during pregnancy but return to normal afterwards. Breast size gained during pregnancy usually disappears after breastfeeding. It does not appear to be a permanent thing. Prolactin can also rise due to stress.
But raised prolactin levels can have a negative effect. Please read the following -

So it seems that raised prolactin levels at other times may lead to Hyperprolactinaemia. Information on this can be found here -

I am not an expert on these matters and so cannot vouch for the authenticity; but in her "flat2fab" book, Lucille Sorella claims that: "during puberty, prolactin works with estrogen to develop the mammary glands, while increasing the number of estrogen receptors in the breasts. Prolactin also causes the breasts to store fat by increasing the production of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in your breasts. LPL is a 'fat storage' enzyme."
If this is accurate, then the development of the mammary glands during puberty due, in part, to prolactin, is not therefore temporary as it is after breastfeeding / pregnancy; thus any increase in prolactin through regular stimulation during NBE may well also not be temporary.
