Intramammary Delivery of Hormones, Growth Factors, and Cytokines (original) (raw)

Abstract

Direct delivery of hormones, growth factors, and cytokines to the mammary gland aids in assessing local versus systemically mediated effects. One of the three effective procedures utilizes cholesterol-based pellets inserted directly into the fat pad.
