Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT
Objective:
Dietary lipid intake is associated with serum alpha‐tocopherol levels; however, its impact on human milk is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between maternal intake of vitamin E, lipids, and fatty acids and the concentration of alpha‐tocopherol in human milk.
Methods:
We conducted a longitudinal observational study, including 143 lactating women on 7, 30, and 90 days postpartum. Dietary intake was collected using 24‐hour recall. On day 90, a human milk sample was collected and analyzed for alpha‐tocopherol concentration. The prevalence of inadequate vitamin E intake was determined by the Estimated Average Requirement (16 mg/day), and the alpha‐tocopherol concentration was analyzed by high‐performance liquid chromatography.
Results:
Dietary intake of vitamin E was associated with the intake of lipids (r = 0.237, P = 0.004) and fatty acids (P |
