endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• ductal development appears normal but lobuloalveolar outgrowth is severely reduced, secretory tissue is sparse, and alveoli are petite and contain small lumina
|
|
• lubuloalveolar units are underdeveloped and do not exhibit a secretory phenotype, even after maximal stimulation of prolactin secretion induced by suckling
|
|
• mammary lobuloalveolar outgrowth during pregnancy is curtailed
|
|
• females fail to lactate after parturition because of a failure of terminal differentiation
• continued suckling does not result in milk production and release, however expression of milk protein genes and synthesis of milk proteins is maintained and the gland does not involute
