endocrine/exocrine glands
• development is slowed
|
• reduced ductal branching at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks
• ductal layer organization worsens with age
• multiple layers form and an intermingling of myoepithelial and luminal epithelial cells occurs
• more collagen deposited around ducts
|
• reduced cell proliferation in terminal end buds at 6 weeks
• cell proliferation continues past 12 weeks when it has ceased in controls
|
adipose tissue
• reduced filling of mammary fat pad with mammary gland ducts compared to controls at 6 weeks
• fat pad filling is identical to controls at 12 weeks
