Body's internal clocks and their role in milk production ability

AI simplified

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.
