effects of engorgement with milk and of suckling on mammary blood flow in the rat

1. Mammary blood flow was estimated in rats by measuring the cardiac output and the proportion of it received by the mammary glands. 2. When the young were removed on the 10th day of lactation the mammary glands began to fill with milk and mammary blood flow fell from 78 ml./min. 100 g tissue to 45...

description 1. Mammary blood flow was estimated in rats by measuring the cardiac output and the proportion of it received by the mammary glands. 2. When the young were removed on the 10th day of lactation the mammary glands began to fill with milk and mammary blood flow fell from 78 ml./min. 100 g tissue to 45 ml./min. 100 g within 8 hr and decreased further to 34 ml./min. 100 g within 8 hr and decreased further to 34 ml./min. 100 g in the next 16 hr. These changes were associated with both a fall in cardiac output and a fall in the proportion of the cardiac output taken by the mammary glands. 3. When the young were allowed to continue suckling, but milk removal was prevented by sealing the teat ducts with adhesive, more milk collected in the mammary glands within 8 hr and mammary blood flow was unchanged (74 ml./min. 100 g). 4. In rats which had been separated from their young for 24 hr, milk was removed from the engorged glands by allowing the pups to suckle again. Mammary blood flow did not rise immediately following the removal of milk but only after 4 hr of suckling, and was associated largely with an increase in cardiac output. 5. Upon resumption of suckling mammary blood flow was the same in emptied glands, and in full glands with the teats sealed. 6. When the young were removed from 15-day lactating rats mammary blood flow after 24 hr was directly related to the volume of milk in the glands. 7. It is concluded that the accumulation of milk in the mammary gland does not mechanically restrict the flow of blood through the tissue and that, in the rat, mammary blood flow and milk secretion are strongly dependent on a continually applied suckling stimulus.
