## Abstract The mammary gland is a skin gland unique to the class Mammalia. Despite a growing molecular and histological understanding of the development and physiology of the mammary gland, its functional and morphological origins have remained speculative. Numerous theories on the origin of the m
It is not known why natural killer T (NKT) cells, which modulate liver injury by regulating local cytokine production, are reduced in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. NKT cells express adrenoceptors. Thus, we hypothesize that the low norepinephrine (NE) activity of ob/ob mice promotes depletion of liver
## Abstract NKT cells are key actors at the interface between innate and acquired immunity. Indeed, upon activation by glycolipid antigens, they rapidly secrete both Th1 and Th2 cytokines, which affects the development of later immune responses. Previous studies have shown that NKT cells are essent
