Fatty acid composition of human milk in Western Iran

Fatty acid composition of Taiwanese human milk.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze quantitatively the fatty acid composition of the milk of Taiwanese women. METHODS Two hundred and sixty-nine human milk specimens were obtained from 240 Taiwanese mothers, aged 19-41 years, and subjected to chromatographic analysis. RESULTS Milk specimens were pooled by the mothers' districts of residence and lactation stages, at 0-11 days...

Fatty Acid Composition of Human Follicular Fluid Phospholipids and Fertilization Rate in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Background: Fatty acids are known to be critically important in multiple biological functions. Phospholipid fatty acids of follicular fluid, an important microenvironment for the development of oocytes, may contribute to the women’s fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproduction techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatty acid composition of follicular fluid ph...

Amino acid composition of human milk.

The fundamental importance of human milk in infant nutrition makes it desirable to have available as complete information as possible on the amounts of amino acids contributed to the diet from this source (Williamson (l), Block and Bolling (2, 3), and Macy (4)). In the present study, hydrolysates of human milk have been analyzed by ion exchange chromatography (Moore and Stein (5)) as applied in...

Fat content and fatty acid composition of pooled banked milk.

Nutritional factors affecting the fatty acid composition of bovine milk.

The predominant fatty acids in milk are the long-chain fatty acids myristic, palmitic and stearic. These saturated fatty acids account for 75% of the total fatty acids, with a further 21% occurring as monounsaturated fatty acids of which the most prevalent is oleic acid. Only 4 g/100 g of the milk fatty acids are polyunsaturated, occurring mainly as linoleic and linolenic acids. All milk fatty ...
