Background The primary aim of the study was to investigate the changes in composition of
breast milk from mothers with preterm infants (gestation age< 35 weeks) during the first 4–6 …

Lactoferrin (Lf) samples from several manufacturers were evaluated in vitro. The purity and
protein form of each Lf were examined by SDS–PAGE, Western blot, and proteomics …

The importance of human milk for the preterm infant is well established (–). However, the
feeding of human milk to preterm infants is typically much more complicated than the mere …

Human milk (HM) contains a wide array of peptide hormones including leptin and
adiponectin, which are involved in the regulation of infant growth and development. These …

The review describes the molecular characteristics of so far detected breast milk adipokines
and ranks their breast milk level compared to the respective levels in maternal and infant …

The composition of human milk is influenced by storage and processing practices. The
effects of thawing and warming practices on human milk composition remain poorly studied …

Fresh mother's own milk (MOM) can protect preterm infants from many complications. Often
MOM is pasteurized for safety, which can deactivate cellular and bioactive components with …

Breastfeeding is critical for the healthy growth and development of infants. A diverse range
of infant-feeding methods are used around the world today. Many methods involve feeding …

The effect of high pressure and heat treatment of human milk on denaturation of lactoferrin
was studied. The degree of protein denaturation was estimated using a sandwich enzyme …

Background Expressed breastmilk may be contaminated by viruses and bacteria, or lose
nutritional value due to maternal transmission, storage, or handling. Babies may also …
