Body's internal clocks and their role in milk production ability
Updated
Abstract
Circadian clocks are crucial for regulating lactation competence.
- Circadian rhythms synchronize physiological processes in response to internal and external cues.
- Maternal physiological changes during the periparturient period support fetal growth and lactation demands.
- Disruption of the circadian timing system may negatively impact mammary gland development.
- Alterations in maternal metabolism could occur due to circadian disruption, potentially impairing milk production.
