Schematic illustration of the hypothetical acute response of the mammary gland to milk removal and the long term response to frequent milking. Each peak represents the transcriptional response to each milk removal event. Acute transcriptional responses return to baseline between milkings. The repeated stimulus of frequent milking over 21 d of lactation may establish a new baseline of gene expression. Concept inspired by Fluck (2006).
