Mammary glands from several strains of immature female rats will form small lobules of alveoli when cultured in chemically defined media lacking steroid hormones but containing insulin and prolactin. The degree of lobulo-alveolar differentiation is increased if estradiol, progesterone, and aldosterone are also included in the culture media.
在缺乏类固醇激素但含有胰岛素和催乳素的化学成分明确的培养基中培养时，几只未成熟雌性大鼠品系的乳腺会形成小的腺泡小叶。如果培养基中还加入雌二醇、孕酮和醛固酮，小叶-腺泡分化程度会增加。
