The Lipolytic Activity of Bovine Mammary Gland Tissue^*

Department of Animal Industry, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas

ABSTRACT

Data have been presented which show the tissue from bovine mammary glands which have not been developed by pregnancy contain only traces of an active lipase.

Tissue which has been developed by pregnancy contains significant amounts of this enzyme.

Data have been reported indicating the actively secreting gland tissue has an acid reaction with the secretory cell areas of the lactating glands showing the highest hydrogen ion concentration.

Some experiments which show positive evidence for a recombination of free fatty acids by means of lipolytic tissue enzymes of the bovine mammary gland have also been reported.
