Precocious Differentiation of the Virgin Wistar-Kyoto Rat Mammary Gland

Abstract The Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat strain expresses high levels of β-casein in its virgin mammary glands. We found that the onset of β-casein overexpression (BCO) occurs at 6 weeks of age, with morphological differentiation of the mammary gland detectable at 7 weeks of age. BCO was previously shown...
