Endocrine control of metabolic adaptation during lactation.
نویسنده
چکیده
This topic has been the subject of a number of recent reviews (e.g., Bauman & Elliot, 1983; Collier et al. 1984; Forsyth, 1986; Williamson, 1986; Girard et al. 1987; Vernon, 1988). In this brief essay I have therefore focused mainly on recent developments, especially in changes in endocrine responsiveness of tissues with lactation. In addition, I have tried to highlight some of the important differences and similarities between domestic ruminants and laboratory rodents in their metabolic adaptations and their endocrine control during lactation.

A review of endocrine regulation of metabolism during lactation.
Lactogenesis signals the shift from uterine nutrient transfer to the fetus to neonatal nourishment at the mammary gland. Metabolic adaptations involved in this process are under endocrine regulation. Key events include an increase in blood flow to mammary tissue, a decrease in nutrient utilization by peripheral tissues and an increase in nutrient utilization by mammary tissue for milk synthesis...
متن کاملProlactin affects leptin action in the bovine mammary gland via the mammary fat pad.
One of the roles of the endocrine system is to synchronize mammary function. Hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin act directly on the mammary gland. Metabolic hormones, such as GH, glucocorticoids, insulin, and leptin are responsible for coordinating the body's response to metabolic homeostasis. Leptin has been shown to be an important factor in regulating the metabolic adapt...
متن کاملAdipose tissue metabolism and its role in adaptations to undernutrition in ruminants.
Changes in the amount and metabolism of adipose tissue (AT) occur in underfed ruminants, and are amplified during lactation, or in fat animals. The fat depot of the tail of some ovine breeds seems to play a particular role in adaptation to undernutrition; this role could be linked to its smaller adipocytes and high sensitivity to the lipolytic effect of catecholamines. Glucocorticoids and growt...
متن کاملThe high cost of reproduction in sea otters necessitates unique physiological adaptations.
Superimposed on inherently high basal metabolic demands, the additional energetic requirements of reproduction can push female sea otters beyond physiological limits. Indeed, the resulting energy imbalance contributes to disproportionately high rates of mortality at the end of lactation in this species. To examine and quantify metabolic changes associated with reproduction, we measured the rest...
متن کاملEndocrine control of nutrient partition in lactating ruminants.
The subjects of nutrient partition during lactation in ruminants and the hormonal control of the relevant aspects of metabolism, particularly in relation to blood hormone concentrations, have been extensively reviewed (Convey, 1974; Bassett, 1978; Bines & Hart, 1978; Trenkle, 1978, 1981; Bauman & Currie, 1980; Bell, 1980; Cowie et al. 1980; McDowell, 1983). The purpose of this paper is to descr...
