Consistent with the increased demand for nutrients imposed by lactation and growth, those tissues directly involved in the digestion, absorption, and processing of the required additional nutrients show response to these states. During lactation, the rumen, upper intestine, and liver increase in size, and more energy is spent on Na+, K+ transport and on protein turnover. The massive endocrine influences during lactation suggest that the metabolism of other tissues besides these and mammary tissue would be influenced, but evidence is rather sparse. Ion transport and protein metabolism in some muscles may indeed be increased. Although substrate cycles characteristically account for a substantially smaller portion of the energy expenditure in the intact animal than do ion transport and protein turnover, stage of lactation influences some of these cycles, particularly the triacylglycerol fatty acid cycle. The needs for additional quantitative in vivo measurements of metabolic conversions and for mechanistic model description of metabolic events in nonmammary tissues are discussed.

Key Words: metabolism • lactation • cellular energy
