Extract

Milk production depends on both the number and activity of secretory cells within the mammary gland. Our earlier work showed the sensitivity of lactational performance to changes in diet during lactation (Goodwill et al, 1996). This study investigated the influence of protein undernutrition and re-alimentation on secretory cell proliferation and death in the mammary gland of rats during early lactation.
