Abstract

The mammary blood flow is a major determinant of the substrate provided for the synthesis of milk, so there is a close relationship between blood flow and breast milk production. Despite the central role that breastfeeding plays, much remains to be studied on the mammary gland, in particular that nutrition can contribute to modulate the increased blood flow. So the goal of this revision is to seek greater understanding of nutritional and hormonal factors that affect blood flow in the mammary gland.
