endocrine/exocrine glands

abnormal involution of the mammary gland ( J:103839 )

• reduced ability of epithelial cells of involuting mammary glands to engulf apoptotic cells

• 2-3 times more apoptotic cells found in the involuting mammary gland than in controls after 2 days

• at day 4 of involution, alveoli of involuting glands with enlarged lumina containing cell debris

• enlarged debris filled ducts still present at day 10

abnormal mammary gland growth during lactation ( J:103839 )

• redevelopment of mammary glands is abnormal due to defects in involution process

• presence of fat pads as well as abnormal ducts and alveoli interfere with redevelopment

abnormal milk composition ( J:103839 )

• reduced production of milk proteins

hypolactation ( J:103839 )

• decreased milk production
