This comprehensive Monograph examines all peripheral and central
mechanisms of regulating the secretion of milk from the lactating
breast. The author reviews the complete female breast development,
starting with the early childhood, up to pregnancy and lactation.
Structural and ultrastructural data on the alveolar-ductal system,
together with details of breast innervation, are used to
investigate the physiological process of lactation. Readers will
appreciate the special focus on reflexes, both in the child and the
mother, that help to regulate maternal milk production and
secretion. Following this, the author sheds a light on the
composition and dynamics of milk components during the different
periods of lactation. The final section of this volume focusses on
practical aspects of modern breastfeeding, like the use of breast
pumps or galactogogues, to influence the productivity of milk
production. These fundamental principles and structural details
will be particularly useful for physiologists and clinicians
working in gynecology and pediatrics.
