Blood Metabolite Interrelationships and Changes in Mammary Gland Metabolism During Subclinical Ketosis

Changes in lipogenesis during mammary-gland development.

The mammary gland is an excellent system with which to study differentiation. During pregnancy, differentiation can be monitored by measuring the biochemical changes that lead to the unique ability of the lobulo-alveolar tissue to synthesize milk components such as milk fat. Unlike most mammalian tissues, the lactating mammary gland of many species synthesizes medium-chain (C, : o-Clz : o ) fat...

P-188: Mammary Gland Changes during Chlorpromazine Treatment in Female Rats

Background: Antipsychotic drugs are medications used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Antipsychotic drugs can cause unwanted side effects. Hyperprolactinemia is an important but neglected adverse effect. The aim of the this study was to consider the effects of Chlropromazine -induced hyperprolactinaemia on mammary glands of female rats . Materials and Methods: In this study...

Model of Mammary Gland Metabolism

A balance model of milk synthesis was developed. The model balances carbon flow into and out of the gland and generates sufficient energy and reducing equivalents to meet synthetic requirements. Calculated uptakes of glucose, acetate, and be tahydroxybutyra te were sufficient to meet gland requirements. Estimated uptakes of essential amino acids were less than output in milk and had to be adjus...
