Abstract
A method of increasing milk secretion of a predetermined milk component from a tissue culture comprising mammary epithelial cells (MECs) is provided. The method comprising admixing into a medium composition comprising the tissue culture, a biologically effective concentration of a composition selectably operable to increase the secretion of the predetermined components, the composition comprising at least one agent selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, beta-hydroxybutirate (BHBA) and a phenolic composition, wherein the agent is not an ethanol extract of P. lentiscus; and when the agent comprises oleic acid it comprises at least two of the agents.
