lactation ch6 Flashcards
what is prolactin
necessary for milk secreation to occur- anterioe pituitary gland
lactogenesis
milk production/initiation- prolactin
galactopoiesis
milk secreation- prolactin
milk ejection
release reflex from breasts- oxytocin
alveoli
15-20 lobes are found in the alveoli, it syntheses and secreates milk
where does the milk go after the alveoli
down the ductules to the lactiferous ducts (1 per loab= 15-20 in all)
then goes to the lactiferous sinus and stored as foremilk
foremilk
nostly water and sugar- 30-90 seconds (2-3% fat)
hindmilk
ongoing- 3-7% fat
colostrum
day 1-3 : high in beta carotene(2x as high as mature milk), protein,minerals,antibodies, wbc, low in cho and fat. have macrophages, t and b lymphocytes, neutrophils (also present in mature milk
transitional milk
day 3-6
mature milk
day 10 : high in fat, lactose, low in protein, low in minerals
oxytocin
posterior pituitary gland, let down response uterus shrinks down
cholestrol in bm compared to formula
36ml/cup compared to no
carb in bm compared to form
38-42% vs 42% in form
fat in bm vs form
55% vs 48-50%
protein in bm vs farm
20% as cassein and 80% a whey- is a soft curd
form: 40% cassein 60% whey (too much cassein like in milk 80% can damage intestine - blood loss)
what are some of the componds of milk
whey protein- stays soluble (cassein does not) whey protein contain milk and serum protein , enzymes (aid in digestion and protection against bacteria) and immunoglobulin. also has hormone, vit and min components of whey- lactoferin
how much kcals do lactating women need
750ml of milk takes 550kcal with an80-90% efficiency= 630kcals
200 from fat stores, 430 from food
