Dams with mammary gland disruption of Lrp5 or Tph1 during lactation do not have altered alveolar morphology. Control dams or dams with a mammary-specific disruption of Tph1 or Lrp5 during lactation were euthanized on d10 of their second lactation. Shown are the effects of genetic disruption on mammary gland (A) alveolar number (n = 5 for Control, n = 4 for WAP-Cre × Lrp5 ^FL/FL, n = 4 for WAP-Cre × Tph1 ^FL/FL) and (B) alveolar diameter (n = 5 for Control, n = 4 for WAP-Cre × Lrp5 ^FL/FL, n = 4 for WAP-Cre × Tph1 ^FL/FL). (C) Histological images stained by H&E and imaged at 20x magnification are depicted. The black scale bar on the Control image represents 15 μm. Values are means ± SEMs. Bars with same letter are not significantly different from one another. WAP-Cre × Lrp5 ^FL/FL, mammary- and lactation-specific disruption of Lrp5; WAP-Cre × Tph1 ^FL/FL, mammary- and lactation-specific disruption of Tph1.
