[Heterologous hormonal regulation in the mammary gland]
Abstract
Mammary gland growth and differentiation are largely dependent on a complex and interrelated action of many different hormones which makes the mammary tissue a very suitable one for the study of heterologous hormonal regulation. This type of control is analyzed by two different approaches: 1. The participation of estradiol in prolactin action during lactation, and 2. The role of glucocorticoids and thyroid hormones in the control of functional activity of rat mammary gland beta-adrenergic receptors.
