The lactation has been considered a cause of bone loss in humans and animals. Studies have shown that during lactation, there is a significant reduction of bone mineral density. Rats at the end of lactation show reduced bone mass. The objective of this study was to verify the effect of lactation under osteogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) of female rats. Twelve Wistar rats were distributed among the control and lactating groups. The experiment was...
