Serotoninergic and Circadian Systems: Driving Mammary Gland Development and Function
Since lactation is one of the most metabolically demanding states in adult female mammals, beautifully complex regulatory mechanisms are in place to time lactation to begin after birth and cease when the neonate is weaned. Lactation is regulated by numerous different homeorhetic factors, all of them tightly coordinated with the demands of milk production. Emerging evidence support that among th...
متن کاملEvaluation of mammary gland development and function in mouse models.
The human mammary gland is composed of 15-20 lobes that secrete milk into a branching duct system opening at the nipple. Those lobes are themselves composed of a number of terminal duct lobular units made of secretory alveoli and converging ducts. In mice, a similar architecture is observed at pregnancy in which ducts and alveoli are interspersed within the connective tissue stroma. The mouse m...
متن کاملMammary gland development and cancer.
The mammary gland is a complex organ that begins development early in gestation and constantly changes in size, shape and function from the time of puberty to menopause. The earliest stages of embryogenesis appear to be independent of steroid hormones, whereas after the 15th week breast structure is largely influenced by a variety of hormones. In most females, further breast development begins ...
متن کاملcompactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
15 صفحه اولLactation Biology Symposium: circadian clocks and photoperiod in mammary gland development and lactation.
Life on earth evolved with light-dark cycles. As a result there arose in all organisms, though probably first in photosynthetic archaebacteria, oscillatory mechanisms to time processes that were necessary for survival and reproduction (Woelfle et al., 2004). The first known account of these oscillations was given for plants in the 4th century BC by Androsthenes, a ship captain under Alexander t...
