Docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acid concentrations in human breast milk worldwide.
Concentrations of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) in human breast milk are important indicators of infant formula DHA and AA concentrations, and recent evidence suggests that neural maturation of breastfed infants is linked to breast-milk LCPUFA concentrations. We report a descriptive meta-analysis that ...
متن کاملCeftazidime levels in human breast milk.
Ceftazidime in the breast milk of 11 puerperal women were determined by bioassay. Each patient received 2 g of ceftazidime intravenously every 8 h for 5 days. The mean (+/- standard deviation) ceftazidime concentrations in the milk were: 3.8 +/- 2.0 (before the next dose), 5.2 +/- 3.0 (1 h after), and 4.5 +/- 1.7 micrograms/ml (3 h after). Ceftazidime was excreted in breast milk at relatively c...
متن کاملHigh levels of DDT in breast milk: intake, risk, lactation duration, and involvement of gender.
We investigated presence and levels of DDT in 163 breast milk samples from four South African villages where, in three of them, malaria is controlled with DDT-sprayed indoors. Mean ΣDDT levels in breast milk were 18, 11, and 9.5 mg/kg mf (milk fat) from the three DDT-sprayed villages, respectively, including the highest ΣDDT level ever reported for breast milk from South Africa (140 mg/kg mf). ...
متن کاملLEVELS AND PREDICTORS OF MACRONUTRIENTS IN MATURE HUMAN MILK
Background & Aims: Breastfeeding is an important public health strategy due to its benefits in reducing the morbidity and mortality of infants and helping to control health care costs. Breastfeeding with various macronutrients and micronutrients plays its nutritional and biological roles in optimal growth and development of the infant. Based on the importance of breastfeeding, this study aimed...
متن کاملLeptin levels in preterm human breast milk and infant formula.
OBJECTIVE Leptin, a hormone present in breast milk, is involved in energy regulation and metabolism. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether leptin is present in either preterm breast milk (PBM) or preterm formula (PF). The effects of delivery methods and pasteurization on leptin levels also were evaluated. METHODS PBM samples were obtained from 29 mothers who delivered inf...
