Abstract
Measurements of the tissue accumulation in vivo and in vitro by hepatocytes and mammary-gland acini of alpha-amino[1-14C]isobutyrate ([1-14C]AIB) were compared in virgin and lactating rats. The results indicate the existence of a reciprocal relationship between mammary gland and liver for AIB accumulation that is dependent on the lactational and the nutritional state of the rat. This suggests that amino acids are preferentially directed to the mammary gland during active lactation.Entities:
