Milk glucose as an index of the intracellular glucose concentration of rat mammary gland.

N J Kuhn, A White
PMCID: PMC1172450  PMID: 1212221

Abstract

The aqueous glucose concentration of rat milk is about 0.29mM, apparently unmodified by prolonged storage in the gland. Infused 3-0-methylglucose reaches a milk concentration similar to its measured mammary intracellular concentration. Milk glucose may therefore reflect its intracellular concentration in the mammary secretory cell.
