Fatty acid synthesis in the mammary gland of lactating rats in vivo was 5-fold higher than in the liver. Starvation decreased fatty acid synthesis in the gland 50-fold, whereas refeeding for 2h completely reversed this change. The plasma insulin concentration decreased 2-fold in starvation and was restored to the fed-rat value on refeeding. Glucagon and prolactin concentrations did not always change in parallel with lipogenesis, suggesting that insulin may be a regulator of this process in the gland.
哺乳期大鼠乳腺中脂肪酸的合成在体内比肝脏中高5倍。饥饿使乳腺中脂肪酸的合成降低了50倍,而重新喂食2小时则完全逆转了这一变化。饥饿时血浆胰岛素浓度降低了2倍,重新喂食后恢复到喂食大鼠的水平。胰高血糖素和催乳素的浓度并不总是与脂肪生成平行变化,这表明胰岛素可能是该腺体中这一过程的调节因子。
