Article Synopsis
- An obesogenic diet (OD) given to female rabbits before puberty and up to mid-pregnancy resulted in higher body weight and abnormal mammary gland development compared to control rabbits.
- The mammary glands of OD rabbits showed excessive secretory epithelium and an abnormal accumulation of milk proteins and lipids, indicating accelerated growth.
- The study highlights the critical role of nutrition on mammary development, suggesting that a poor diet may have negative effects on future lactation efficiency and mammary health.
