Reabsorption Phenomena in the Mammary Gland; REABSORBTSIONNYE YAVLENIYA V MOLOCHNOI ZHELEZE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4270226
A tracer study of the physiology of the mammary gland was made. The results showed that milk secretions take place with reabsorption of certain substances from the blood. If labeled P, S, or Ca are administered through a teat of a goat or cow udder, the elements are soon detected in the milk discharged from another test. Milking or massaging the udder intensifies the absorption process. It is shown that the organic milk components contain no labeled P for some time, but inorganic P appears after a few minutes. Pituitrin, administered to a lactating goat, produces the same effect on reabsorption in the mammary gland as milking or massaging of the udder. (J.S.R.)
