mortality/aging
N
• unlike homozygous mice carrying Tg(MMTV-cre)4Mam , viability of mutants is similar to controls

reproductive system
• at parturition no lobuloalveolar like structures are present and mammary tissue is still composed primarily of adipocytes
• at parturition even after multiple pregnancies the majority of the epithelial architecture displays closed lumens
• at parturition mammary epithelial cells retain characteristics of virgin ductal epithelial cells
• mammary epithelial cells fail to proliferate and fail to undergo functional differentiation

endocrine/exocrine glands
• at parturition no lobuloalveolar like structures are present and mammary tissue is still composed primarily of adipocytes
• at parturition even after multiple pregnancies the majority of the epithelial architecture displays closed lumens
• at parturition mammary epithelial cells retain characteristics of virgin ductal epithelial cells
• mammary epithelial cells fail to proliferate and fail to undergo functional differentiation
• unable to lactate even after multiple pregnancies

integument
N
• despite recombination in the skin, no gross skin abnormalities are detected
• at parturition mammary epithelial cells retain characteristics of virgin ductal epithelial cells
• at parturition no lobuloalveolar like structures are present and mammary tissue is still composed primarily of adipocytes
• at parturition even after multiple pregnancies the majority of the epithelial architecture displays closed lumens

reproductive system
• at parturition only a low density of lobuloalveolar like structures are seen and only a few of these display features of secretory differentiation in the lumina instead most lumina are filled with condensed secretory materials
• the presence of condensed secretory materials suggests that mammary epithelial cells fail to undergo terminal differentiation
• after multiple pregnancies lobuloalveolar development is partially restored

endocrine/exocrine glands
• at parturition only a low density of lobuloalveolar like structures are seen and only a few of these display features of secretory differentiation in the lumina instead most lumina are filled with condensed secretory materials
• the presence of condensed secretory materials suggests that mammary epithelial cells fail to undergo terminal differentiation
• after multiple pregnancies lobuloalveolar development is partially restored
• unable to lactate after the first pregnancy
• females are often able to lactate after multiple pregnancies
