... mammary gland development and lactation in female mice. Pups of Mex3c mutant dams die of starvation soon after birth. Milk contents are present in the alveoli but deficient in the ducts of the mammary glands in mutant mice. Mutant mice do not show prolactin or oxytocin deficiency. They also develop...

...Mary P. Thompson; Murray R. Grigor A significant diurnal variation in the rates of lipogenesis in vivo in brown adipose tissue occurred in both virgin and lactating rats. On a meal-feeding regime of either a chow, high-sucrose, or high-lipid diet, there was a very large increase in BAT lipogenesis...

...Javier Casado; Xavier Remesar; Marçal Pastor-Anglada Lactate uptake by liver is markedly increased in late-pregnant and mid-lactating rats without concomitant changes in its availability. Glycerol contribution to the liver 3-C unit uptake is only significant at term gestation (50% of lactate uptake...

...Francesc Villarroya; Antonio Felipe; Teresa Mampel Hypocaloric diet feeding reduced the mitochondrial protein content and whole tissue GDP-binding in interscapular brown adipose tissue from both virgin and lactating rats. A reduction in brown fat lipoprotein lipase activity was also detected...
