Abstract:
Paracellular and transcellular route of passage of several milk metabolites, albumin, lactic acid dehydrogenase and plasminogen from the systemic circulation to milk is considered. The shortcoming of prevalence views considering paracellular leakage as the most probable explanation is highlighted. A detailed discussion explaining why transcellular route is the most probable explanation for the presence of plasminogen in milk is presented.
