Low doses of 10(-7) mg Escherichia coli endotoxin applied as intramammary infusion into single bovine quarters induced a rise in milk cell count without other inflammatory signs. Significantly fewer quarters responded in early lactation than in mid lactation. Maximum cell count was also somewhat later and less pronounced in early lactation. The rise in milk cell count after infusion of E. coli endotoxin was related to in vitro chemotactic activity of blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN). PMN isolated from cows which did not respond with a rise in milk cell count upon endotoxin infusion showed a diminished chemotactic activity in vitro as compared to PMN isolated from animals which did respond to an intramammary endotoxin infusion with a rise in milk cell count. No differences in phagocytic and metabolic activity were observed in vitro between the PMN isolated from the two groups of animals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007774 Lactation The processes of milk secretion by the maternal MAMMARY GLANDS after PARTURITION. The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.
