Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was used as an index of the cellular state of the rat mammary gland in late pregnancy ( day 20) and early ( day 1), intense ( day 14), and declining ( day 28) lactation. Dams sacrificed on day 28 of lactation were provided with foster litters on day 14 postpartum to insure a strong sucking stimulus during the lactation period from days 14–28. Mammary DNA increased 57% from day 20 of pregnancy to lactation day 14, but no significant change in DNA content was evident by day 1 of lactation. A significantly lower DNA concentration was observed in mammary glands of rats sacrificed at lactation day 28 when compared with that of animals killed at day 14 of lactation. The data suggest that cellular proliferation of mammary gland continues well into lactation and that a decline in lactation may be due, in part, to a reduction in the number of milk-secreting cells.
