Expression Of Inflammation Associated Genes In The Mammary Gland Of Lactating Women With Elevated Plasma Triglycerides

Background: The benefits of breastfeeding are unparalleled. Unfortunately, obesity and diabetes are fueling a rise in the number of mothers who are physiologically unable to produce sufficient breast milk. Our aim was to identify gene expression signatures for mammary epithelial cells (MEC) during lactation that characterize insufficient breast milk production in obese women with elevated plasma triglycerides. Methods: …
