Cytology of Milk in Guinea Pigs

Abstract: Identification, total and differential counts of cell populations in guinea pig colostrum, milk and involution secretion were carried out. The cellular concentration in colostrum was high, but there was a dramatic decline in milk collected at the peak of lactation. Advancement of mammary gland involution was associated with a dramatic increase in cellular concentration. The neutrophil was the predominant cell type in colostrum, milk and early involution secretion. Macrophages were present at all stages of lact… Show more

“…As was observed in the cow [Lee et al, 1980], ewe Outteridge and Lee, 1981] and guinea pig [Nordin and Lee, 1982], the neutrophils were the predominant cell type in colostrum and involution secretion. Since there was no detectable infection, such a great influx of neutrophils may be a response to the disten sion of the gland and the accumulation of cellular debris.…”

“…However, another report showed that in human milk neutrophils may be prominent (13). It has also been found that in the colostrum of cows (6), ewes (7) and guinea pigs (10) neutrophils outnumbered other cells. O u r findings show that in sows neutrophils prevailed at every lactation stage ( Table 2 and 3), which agrees with the results obtained by EVANS et al (11), who published the first report about cell types in pig milk, did not distinguish macrophages, considering them probably as lymphocytes and so his results cannot be compared with subsequent papers in which macrophages were identified.…”

“…Os neutrófilos, assim como os macrófagos são responsáveis por fagocitar não apenas os microorganismos como também debris celulares e gotículas de gordura, porém de uma maneira menos eficiente. O neutrófilo também foi o tipo celular predominante encontrado no colostro e leite de fêmeas cobaias (NORDIN; LEE, 1982).…”

“…Poucas células epiteliais foram observadas (0-1%) concordando com a descrição efetuada em ovelhas (LEE; OUTTERIDGE, 1981), porcas (EVANS et al, 1982) e cobaias (NORDIN; LEE, 1982).…”
