Research Series – Feedback Inhibition – Nov 2022
Unlocking the Mysteries of Human Lactation:
Feedback Inhibition of LactationWednesday, November 16th, 2022
12:00 - 1:00 pm CST
withLaura Hernandez PhD
Details are included in our flyer which can be downloaded here.
Overview of the Research Series
This monthly educational series is an exploration of the science of human lactation which aims to deepen understanding and explain our shared clinical observations. We look forward to showcasing researchers who have made it their lives’ work to contribute to an ever-growing foundation of science that will ultimately strengthen the roles that breastfeeding and human lactation play in the health of the lactating parent, child and family.
About the Webinar
Dr. Hernandez is an Associate Professor in the Dairy Science Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she is also a member of the Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology, Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Nutritional Sciences, and the Comparative Biosciences Graduate programs. She received her Ph.D. in 2008 from the University of Arizona under the direction of Dr. Bob Collier and completed her post-doctoral in Molecular and Cellular Physiology with Dr. Nelson Horseman and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
Her area of research has focused on how serotonin controls the mammary gland and various aspects of lactation. Dr. Hernandez combines basic research from the cell to whole-animal level in a variety of mammalian species to broaden the focus on the importance of the mammary gland and its contributions to and regulation of a successful lactation in dairy cattle. The outcomes of her novel research are aimed at demonstrating the presence of factors (specifically serotonin) produced within the mammary gland that can control the animal’s physiology while lactating, particularly during the transition period when cows are the most metabolically and physiologically challenged. She specifically focuses on the interaction of serotonin and calcium metabolism during the transition period. Her research has determined that serotonin is an important regulator of mammary gland, maternal calcium, and maternal energy homeostasis during lactation. She has authored/co-authored 33 peer reviewed journal articles. Her research on the coordination of maternal metabolism during lactation by the mammary gland has numerous applications to women that are breast-feeding, and is focused on improving maternal health during this time frame and in later life.
