endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• at lactation day 5, mammary glands have defects in alveolar integrity, with detachment of luminal epithelial cells resulting in an 11-fold increase in luminally shed and bulging cells due to alterations in cell-basement membrane associations
• the defect in alveolar integrity becomes more pronounced during a second lactation
• density of the lobular-alveolar structures is decreased at day 5 of the first, and more strongly, the second lactation
|
|
• luminal cell proliferation is reduced in mammary glands at day 5 of lactation
