ABSTRACT

These two volumes contain a comprehensive compilation of review articles prepared by a wide group of researchers concerned both directly and indirectly with studies on the mammary gland and/or its secretions.

Volume I contains four main sections: (1) The mammary gland, morphogenesis, structure, and growth, (2) functional physiology of the mammary gland, (3) lactation in man and farm animals, and (4) biochemical activities of the mammary gland. Twelve total review articles comprise this volume and include: Morphogenesis of the mammary gland, by Albert Raynaud; histology and cytology of the mammary gland, by Gaston Mayer and Marc Klein; hormonal regulation of mammary gland growth, by Dora Jacobsohn; the hormonal control of milk secretion, by A. T. Cowie; biochemistry of prolactin, by C. H. Li; neural control of lactation, by B. A. Cross; human lactation, by Michael Newton; farm animals: induction of lactation and galactopoiesis, by J. Meites; general biochemistry of mammary tissue, by R. G. Hansen and D. M. Carlson; protein metabolism, by J. M. Barry; the biosynthesis of lactose, by Luis F. Leloir and Carlos E. Cardini; and the biosynthesis of milk fat, by S. J. Folley and Mary L. McNaught.
