Abstract excerpt
To examine tight junction protein abundance and apoptosis of epithelial cells at the onset of involution in rodent mammary glands, milk accumulation and mammary engorgement were induced by teat-sealing with an adhesive for 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 h (n = 6 per group) at peak lactation. In non-sealed control glands, histological analysis confirmed a lactating phenotype, indicating suckling by pups throughout the...
