abstract = "The study aimed to determine the concentration of energy-related hormones in cow’s
milk and to consider them from a public health perspective. Fourteen Holstein cows
were subjected to milk and blood sampling on the following days in lactation (DIL):
10, 30, 60, 90, 150, 180, 210, 250 and 280 to determine milk hormones, fat and protein
content and blood biochemical parameters. For the same purpose, bulk-tank milk
was sampled and samples of retail milk with 1.5% (CM1.5) and 3.2% (CM3.2) fat was
purchased. Milk insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) values were significantly lower at
90, 150, 180, 210 and 250 and significantly higher at 10, 30 and 60 DIL than lactation
average (LA). Milk insulin concentrations were significantly lower at 30, 60 and 90 and
higher at 210, 250 and 280 DIL than LA. Free thyroxine (fT4) level in the milk was
higher at 250 DIL, while milk free triiodothyronine (fT3) concentrations were lower
at 30, 60, 90 and 280 DIL, and significantly higher at 10 and 180 DIL than respective
LA. Milk cortisol levels were lower at 60 and 280 DIL than LA. All measured milk
hormones were significantly lower in CM1.5 compared to CM3.2, bulk-tank milk and
LA. An exception was the LA of IGF-1, which was significantly lower than the IGF-
1 content in CM1.5. Blood biochemical parameters fluctuated evenly during lactation
and were within the reference range. Hormone concentrations in cow’s milk fluctuate
during lactation, giving milk an important role in the context of public health.",
