1. Mammary tissue from pregnant rat presents low and high affinity IGF-I functional receptors. 2. Mammary explants from pregnant and lactating rats secrete IGF-I and its production was related to the developmental stage of the gland. 3. An inverse relationship between IGF-I production and tissue binding capacity was observed.
