Limits to sustained energy intake. XV. Effects of wheel running on the energy budget during lactation.
The capacity of animals to dissipate heat may constrain sustained energy intake during lactation. We examined these constraints at peak lactation in MF1 mice that had ad libitum access to food, or that had to run a pre-set target on running wheels to obtain ad libitum access to food. The voluntary distance run decreased sharply during pregnancy and peak lactation. When lactating females were pr...
متن کاملAlcohol's effect on lactation.
Although pregnant women are discouraged from drinking alcohol because of alcohol's detrimental effect on fetal development, the lore of many cultures encourages lactating women to drink alcohol to optimize breast milk production and infant nutrition. In contrast to this folklore, however, studies demonstrate that maternal alcohol consumption may slightly reduce milk production. Furthermore, som...
متن کاملImpact of Oxytocin-Milking Method on Lactation Performance and Lactation Length of Sheep
Determination of milk yield potential using an accurate method is essential for assessing nutritional requirements, evaluation of genetic potential, lamb growth and survival, management decisions and improving performance traits of sheep flocks. Exogenous oxytocin injection is applied to estimate milk secretion rate in sheep. Oxytocin is a neurohormone produced in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysi...
متن کاملLimits to sustained energy intake. XX. Body temperatures and physical activity of female mice during lactation.
Lactating animals consume greater amounts of food than non-reproductive animals, but energy intake appears to be limited in late lactation. The heat dissipation limit theory suggests that the food intake of lactating mice is limited by the capacity of the mother to dissipate heat. Lactating mice should therefore have high body temperatures (Tb), and changes in energy intake during lactation sho...
متن کاملLactation Biology: Biology of Lactation
Mice raised on a coconut oil (CO)-containing diet for 6 wk prior to the addition of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) are more sensitive to CLAinduced body fat loss than mice raised on a soy oil (SO)-containing diet. Coconut oil is deficient in essential fatty acids. However the addition of linoleic acid to a CO-containing diet did not alter the enhanced sensitivity to CLA. The objective of this s...
