This study aimed to assess the galactagogue potential of microencapsulated extracts from the BF and its impact on serum prolactin level, \u03b1\u2010lactalbumin (LALBA), and aquaporin (AQP) protein levels in the mammary glands of lactating rats. Milk production was determined by measuring pup weight during the suckling period. The control group was administered distilled water orally, whereas Group II was administered domperidone at doses of 2.7\u2009mg\/kg. Groups III and IV were orally administered BF at doses of 250 and 500\u2009mg\/kg, respectively, from the 3\n                    <jats:sup>rd<\/jats:sup>\n                    day to the 12\n                    <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                    day postpartum. On the 12\n                    <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                    day, blood samples and mammary gland tissues were collected for analysis. Protein levels of AQP\u20101, AQP\u20103, AQP\u20105, LALBA, and serum prolactin were assessed. Additionally, a histopathological examination of the mammary glands was performed. BF doses of 250 and 500\u2009mg\/kg were found to increase milk production, pup weight, serum prolactin levels, and protein levels of AQP\u20101, AQP\u20103, and AQP\u20105 compared to the control group. Transverse sections of the mammary glands from rats treated with 250 and 500\u2009mg\/kg exhibited a marked increase in milk secretion within the alveoli. These findings suggest that BF possesses significant galactagogue activity.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/sci5\/5148782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]],"date-time":"2026-03-09T04:28:25Z","timestamp":1773030505000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Microencapsulated Extracts From Banana Flowers Induce Milk Production in Lactating Rats Through Increased \u03b1\u2010Lactalbumin, Aquaporin, and Prolactin Levels"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"given":"Acharaporn","family":"Issuriya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3824-9712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Palika","family":"Wetchakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thammarat","family":"Kaewmanee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Surasak","family":"Limsuwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo Aan","family":"Goon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9688-3404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sineenart","family":"Sanpinit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2022-068224"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","article-title":"The Effectiveness of Prenatal Breastfeeding Education on Breastfeeding Uptake Postpartum: a Systematic Review","volume":"118","author":"Jennifer K.","year":"2023","journal-title":"Midwifery"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_2","unstructured":"Unicef (United Nations Children\u2019s Fund) Online Database: 1 in 3 Mothers in Thailand Exclusively Breastfeed Their Babies far Below Target 2024 https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/thailand\/press-releases\/unicef-finds-1-3-mothers-thailand-exclusively-breastfeed-their-babies-far-below."},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12906-020-03152-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1301\/nr.2003.sept.295-305"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3168\/jds.2015-10035"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4236\/jbm.2019.79006"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.33192\/smj.2022.2"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29063\/ajrh2023\/v27i7.9"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7150\/ijms.83869"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0247637"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0890334417709432"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.53713\/nhs.v2i3.154"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0973-8258.82102"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005176-198409000-00023"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1677\/joe.0.1820257"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_17_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"A Review of the Hormone Prolactin During Lactation","volume":"14","author":"Ostrom K.
