چکیده
Farmer, C. and Palin M.-F. 2008. Feeding flaxseed to sows during late-gestation and lactation affects mammary development but not mammary expression of selected genes in their offspring. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 88: 585 590. Mammary gland composition and mammary gene expression were measured in pubertal gilts whose dam were fed a control (CTL) diet or a diet with a 10% supplement of flaxseed (FS) during late-gestation and throughout lactation. Parenchymal weight expressed as a percentage of body weight tended to be greater in offspring from FS compared with CTL sows (PB0.1) and to contain less fat (PB0.1). Offspring from FS sows had more parenchymal protein, whether expressed as a percentage (PB0.05) or total amount in tissue (P50.05), than offspring from CTL sows. No changes (P 0.1) in mammary gland expression of the studied genes were observed with dietary treatment.

Impact of diet deprivation and subsequent overallowance during gestation on mammary gland development and lactation performance.
The impacts of diet deprivation and subsequent overallowance during gestation on mammary gene expression and development and lactation performance were determined. Gilts were reared under a conventional (control, CTL; n = 59) or an experimental (treatment, TRT; n = 56) dietary regimen during gestation. The experimental regimen provided 70% (restriction diet, RES) and 115% (overallowance diet, O...

The impact of feeding flax as seed, meal, or oil to late-pregnant and lactating sows on fatty acid profiles in sows and their piglets was studied. Sixty second- and third-parity sows (Yorkshire x Landrace) were fed 1 of 4 diets from 68 d of gestation until 21 d of lactation. Diets were: control without flax (CTL, n = 15); 10% flaxseed supplementation (FS, n = 16); 6.5% flaxseed meal supplementa...
متن کاملExposure to flaxseed or its lignan component during different developmental stages influences rat mammary gland structures.
Reduction of the highly proliferative terminal end bud (TEB) structures in the developing mammary gland by differentiation to alveolar buds (ABs) and lobules has been suggested to be protective against mammary cancer. Flaxseed is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG). SDG is the precursor of mammalian lignans, which can affect mammary gland structures. Th...

The aim of this study was to consider effect of increasing metabolizable energy and protein during late pregnancy on mammary growth and development in sistani goats. Twenty eight pregnant sistani goats with same average body weight and 2 year old age were selected and randomly assigned to four groups at beginning of late pregnancy period (d 100 of pregnancy): 1- Control group with recommendatio...
متن کاملExposure to flaxseed or purified lignan during lactation influences rat mammary gland structures.
Previous investigation demonstrated that feeding a 10% flaxseed (10F) diet during pregnancy and lactation enhanced the differentiation of highly proliferative terminal end bud (TEB) structures of rat mammary gland into less proliferative alveolar buds and lobules. From this study, it was hypothesized that the lignan component in flaxseed mediated the observed effects. Because mammary glands wit...
