La ubre de la cabra: mecanismo de secreción láctea y síntesis de proteínas/grasas

in terms of proteins and fats, and it is the lactocytes of the caprine mammary gland, which must replicate and synthesize these components dairy products. Therefore, this review initially considers the understanding of the anatomy and histology of the mammary gland as responsible for all the activities related to the milk ejection mechanism. The development of the mammary gland determines all aspects of cell behavior, so its development is reviewed through four stages: i) mammogenesis, ii) lactogenesis, iii) galactopoiesis, and iv) involution. The remainder of the review emphasizes milk lipogenesis and proteogenesis, due to their various roles within cellular metabolism and the production of the lipid fraction and protein fraction of milk.
