We studied the effects of a diet that was low in fat, high in carbohydrate (CHO) on milk lipid
composition and de novo endogenous fatty acid synthesis by the mammary gland in five …

The onset of medium-chain fatty acid synthesis in the human mammary gland was
investigated. Colostrum and serum were collected from 31 healthy women and the fatty acid …

Fatty acid composition of colostrum, milk, and serum was studied during two consecutive
lactations in the same woman. There were marked differences between milk and serum …

The objective of this study was to characterize the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway of the
lactating human breast. Mixed cell populations, obtained by centrifugation of human milk …

The pattern of fatty acids synthesized by mammary-gland explants from rabbits during
pregnancy and early lactation has been studied. From day 12 to day 18 of pregnancy, long …

The biosynthesis of fatty acids has been studied in lactating rabbits at 6h after intravenous
injection of sodium [1-14C] acetate. The specific radioactivities of the individual fatty acids …

1. Mammary tissue was obtained from rabbits at various stages of pregnancy and lactation
and used for tissue-slice incubations (to measure the rate of fatty acid synthesis and CO2 …

Ten lactating mothers (five of preterm and five of term infants) 9–17 d postpartum consumed
a 5% fat, 15% protein, and 80% carbohydrate diet for 5 d. Their milk was analyzed for fatty …

Mammary gland (MG) de novo lipogenesis contributes significantly to milk fat in animals but
little is known in humans. Objective: To test the hypothesis that the incorporation of 13C …

Mammary slices from lactating guinea-pigs synthesized predominantly long chain (C16-
C18) saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from [14C] acetate or [U-14C] glucose; these are …
