Histochemical Studies of Fat Metabolism in Mammary Glands of Lactating Cows^{1, 2,}

Dairy Department, Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station, College Park

ABSTRACT

Conclusion: From a comparison of the reactions given by the use of various staining methods for fatty substances in sections of bovine mammary gland tissue, with or without lipid material removed, there is no evidence that free fatty acids are present in appreciable amounts in the proximal part of the secretory cells. All fatty droplets, from the largest, located at the free end of the secretory cells, to the smallest, occuping the middle space, appear to be neutral fat.
