The fatty acids present in human milk
… references on the subject of the chemistry of human milk fat in order that a bibliography might be made which would cover all the work done on the subject up to the present time. In order to investigate the methods for separating the fatty acids in butter fat it was found necessary to look up …

Characterizing Oxylipins in Human Milk Extracellular Vesicles
… into the extracellular environment. EVs in human milk are bioavailable and influence physiologic pathways that may contribute to newborn growth and development. There is interest in the oxylipin content of EVs that may contribute to the bioavailability of EVs. This research aims to …

K-casein and its Interaction in Human Milk Micelles
<p>Human milk K-casein was isolated from the acid-precipitated casein fraction on Sephadex G-200 and Mono Q HPLC. Samples of K-casein purified from different donors were found similar in both amino acid and carbohydrate composition. A molar extinction coefficient of 11.2 was determined on the basis …

Metabolism of human milk oligosaccharides by infant-associated bifidobacteria
… occasionally insect gastrointestinal tracts. In humans, bifidobacteria are typically highly abundant in the intestinal microbiota of healthy breastfed infants, in particular a small number of infant-associated species, including Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, …

Probiotic metabolism of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and prebiotics
Human milk contains a high concentration of complex oligosaccharides (HMOs) that are believed to confer physiological benefits to infants such as immunomodulation and prevention of pathogen attachment. In addition, it has been postulated that HMOs serve as prebiotics by promoting the growth of …

Behavioral entrainment of human milk-fed infants' sleep patterns
"To investigate whether infants who were exclusively breast-fed could be taught to sleep through the night (defined from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m.) from an early age, twenty- six first-time parents and their infants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: treatment and control. Treatment parents were …

The Chemistry of Flavonoids in Model Beverages and Human Milk
… <p>The transfer of dietary flavonoids to human milk and the potential exposure to nursing infants quickly became of interest. Chapters 3 and 4 of this dissertation focuses on the presence of several flavonoids in human milk samples. In our initial screening, samples were collected from 17 …

Bile salt-stimulated human milk lipase characterisation and kinetic studies
… the purification of bile salt-stimulated human milk lipase (BSSL) from whole human milk. A detailed study of the activity of the purified protein has been conducted against both lipid and ester substrates in order to monitor the progress of the purification. A further determination of the …

Maternal Nutrition Supplementation during Preconception and Pregnancy and Human Milk Composition
Background: Human milk (HM) provides essential nutrients and energy for infant growth and development. HM composition can be influenced by a range of maternal, infant, and environmental factors, and is suggested to be tailored for each infant. Understanding the factors that influence HM nutrient …

In-vitro protein digestibility of human milk and three infant formulas
The percent in-vitro digestibility of proteins in human milk was determined by three different methods and compared with the in-vitro digestibility of proteins in Enfamil, Similac and Isomil. In-vitro digestibility was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis …

Expression of the Human Milk Protein, Beta-Casein : in Transgenic Potato Plants
<p>Mother’s milk is recommended by the nutritional and pediatric communities as the best food for suckling infants. For non breast-fed infants, bovine milk-based formulas have been regarded as a suitable substitute. In the early 1900's, physicians found that foreign proteins in cow milk were …

Characterization of Gangliosides and Fatty Acids in Extracellular Vesicles from Human Milk
… vesicles (EVs) are bioactive components of human milk that may impact functionality to regulate growth, cognitive development, metabolism, and immunity in newborns. The biogenesis of EVs and the mechanism by which EVs elicit biologic effects <em>in vivo</em> have not been characterized …

The role of probiotics, prebiotics, and human milk oligosaccharides in infant formulae
… recommendation and only 44% of infants receive human milk to any extent at six months of age (Gartner et al., 2005; Li et al., 2005; Eidelman et al., 2012). Nearly 40% of infants receive formula as their sole source of nutrition by one month of age (Li et al., 2005). Probiotics and/or prebiotics …

Human milk as a source of tumor killing molecules. From MAL to HAMLET.
HAMLET (Human alphalactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells), a complex between the partially unfolded alphalactalbumin and oleic acid, was discovered by serendipity when anti-adhesive properties of human milk were examined. HAMLET kills tumor cells but not healthy differentiated cells. Native …

Production of a functional human milk oligosaccharide, 2'-fucosyllactose, using microbial cell factories
Human breast milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition. In human milk, the oligosaccharides may protect babies by acting as decoy receptors for pathogens. Also, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) enhance the proliferation of probiotics to strengthen the host immune system. Among HMOs, …

Detection of colorectal carcinoma-associated antigens using specific antibodies against human milk oligosaccharides
Rabbit antibodies against human milk sialyltetrasaccharide b Galßl—3[NeuAca2—6]GlcNAcßl—3Galßl—4Glc) and sialyltetrasaccharide a (NeuAca2-3Ga|ßl·3GlcNAcß1-3Galßl-4Glc) were used to detect their homologous haptens as gangliosides in the human colorectal carcinoma cell line SW'lll6. …

Human milk oligosaccharide supplementation did not affect gut development in the healthy neonatal piglet
… if the infant is not breast-fed. Breast milk is superior to infant formula in multiple ways, one of the advantages being the human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) content. HMO is beneficial for the immune health of the baby and cultivating a healthy gut microbiota population. It also has the …

Isolation of a human milk sialyloligosaccharide by affinity chromatography with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)
… the separation of the sialyloligosaccharides of human milk. A human milk sialyloligosaccharide fraction was tritium labeled and applied to a highly substituted WGA-agarose column (20 mg/ml). Only a single component from the complete sialyloligosaccharide fraction was retarded in the WGA-agarose …

Nutrient composition of human milk and dietary influence during the first six months of lactation
Mature human milk composition was determined from monthly samples collected from five, healthy, Caucasian, lactating women. A 72-hour dietary record was kept monthly from the twelfth week of pregnancy to the sixth month postpartum. Nutrient content of milk samples was similar to values reported in …
