Morphophysiology and Hormonal Control of the Mammary Gland of the Bat Artibeus lituratus During Gestation and Lactation: Emphasis on Estradiol and Progesterone. [PDF]
J MorpholThe mammary gland of NON females of Artibeus lituratus was composed of few ducts interspersed within a rich stroma, and covered by adipose tissue. The branching of the mammary gland in AP females are triggered by stimuli from an increase in serum estradiol that, through ERα activation, stimulates the proliferation of the ducts, and an increase in serum
