The key regulatory processes that will be examined here are those affecting the excretory system, the reproductive system, metabolism, blood calcium concentrations, growth, and the stress response.

Specifically, milk contains the sugar lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide (two-sugar) compound that consists of one molecule each of galactose and glucose, as shown in the structural formula below. Lactose makes up between 2 and 8 percent of milk by weight. The exact amount varies both within and between species.

IGF-1, important for cell growth, peaks during puberty, while angiotensinogen is vital for blood pressure regulation. TPO regulates platelet production by stimulating bone marrow megakaryocytes. These hormones are essential for growth, maintaining blood pressure, and facilitating blood clotting.

Some of the pre-cleavage polypeptides are immediately cleaved, while others are stored as inactive precursors to form a pool of enzymes (or other kinds of proteins) that can be activated very quickly, on a timescale of seconds to minutes, as compared to having to go through transcription and translation, or even just translation.

It integrates inputs from peripheral signals like nutrients and hormones, modulating metabolism-related activities such as food intake, energy expenditure, and insulin secretion. Disturbances in this regulation can lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Understanding the neural pathways involved could aid in developing treatments for these conditions.
