Science China. Life sciences 2010 FebMammary glands undergo functional and metabolic changes during virgin, lactation and dry periods. A total of 122 genes were identified as differentially expressed, including 79 up-regulated and 43 down-regulated genes during lactation compared with virgin and dry periods. Gene ontology analysis showed the functional classification of the up-regulated genes in lactation, including transport, biosynthetic process, signal transduction, catalytic activity, immune system process, cell death, and positive regulation of the developmental process. Microarray data clarified molecular events in bovine mammary gland lactation.
