Popis: OBJECTIVES: Insulin resistance may contribute to the association between maternal obesity and lactation difficulties. Our objective was to examine differential expression of genes involved in insulin-sensitive and prolactin-sensitive signaling in the mammary glands of women with very low, versus sufficient, milk production. METHODS: Among a subset of mothers in a study of low milk supply, extracellular mammary epithelial cell mRNA was isolated from fresh milk fat and submitted for RNA-sequencing. Aligned and quantified reads were examined for differentially expressed genes by t-test (DEG, p
