Hi Robin still busy I see.

Thank you for your efforts. Posting here make me feel better by contributing.

The omega threes and particularly DHA down regulates PPAR gamma in some fat tissue.

There are fat storage cells in the breast I guess, to stabilise milk supply etc.

There must also be specific cells that make milk fats.

Whether PPAR gamma does the same thing in the breast cells I do not know. ONe of the many things I have not had the time to look at.
