Mammary gland
composition and mammary gene expression were measured in pubertal gilts whose dam were fed a control (CTL) diet or a
diet with a 10% supplement of flaxseed (FS) during late-gestation and throughout lactation. Parenchymal weight
expressed as a percentage of body weight tended to be greater in offspring from FS compared with CTL sows (P<0.1) and
to contain less fat (P<0.1). Offspring from FS sows had more parenchymal protein, whether expressed as a percentage
(P<0.05) or total amount in tissue (P¡Ü0.05), than offspring from CTL sows. No changes (P>0.1) in mammary gland
expression of the studied genes were observed with dietary treatment.
