Human mammary glands in mice

Phosphorus metabolism in resting and pregnancy-stimulated mammary glands and in spontaneous mammary carcinomas of mice.

Local Action of Estrone on Mammary Glands of Mice *

It has been assumed that estrogens act indirectly on the mammary glands because these hormones induce little or no growth of the breast tissues in hypophysectomized animals of most species.5s18 The results, however, have not been entirely uniform.2 Most investigators have noted an absence of mammary growth in those experiments in which hypophysectomized rats and mice have been given estrogens.'...

Ultrasonographic Examination of Mammary Glands in Caspian Mares during the Lactation and Dry Period

Objective- The aim of this study was to determine the normal ultrasonographic and morphologic appearance of mammary gland and teat in Caspian mares during lactation and dry period. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Seven mature Caspian mares Procedures- Using a 6.5-8.5 MHz linear transducer the ultrasonographic appearance of lactating and dry mammary glands was determined in 7 mature Casp...

Regeneration of mammary glands in vivo from isolated mammary ducts.

Rat mammary ducts, free of buds, can alone regenerate complete mammary trees when transplanted into the interscapular fat pads of syngeneic host rats. All the main mammary cell types are identified within such outgrowths. Epithelial cells, which show the presence of milk fat globule membrane antigens and microvilli on their luminal surfaces, line the ducts. Basal cells surrounding the ducts sho...

Salvia officinalis induce alveolar bud growing in adults female rat mammary glands

Objectives: In traditional medicine Salvia officinalis (sage) has been used as menstrual cycle regulator. In the present study the effects of sage extract on breast tissue were examined. Materials and Methods: Fourteen female rats were divided into two groups: 1) Distilled water-treated rats (Con) that were gavaged with 1ml distilled water and 2) Saliva officinalis hydroalcoholic extract (SHE)-...
