Breastmilk from obese mothers has pro-inflammatory properties and decreased neuroprotective factors
Objective: To determine the impact of maternal obesity on breastmilk composition. Study Design: Breastmilk and food records from 21 lean and 21 obese women who delivered full-term infants were analyzed at 2 months post-partum. Infant growth and adiposity were measured at birth and 2 months of age. R...

Zusammenfassung: | Objective:
To determine the impact of maternal obesity on breastmilk composition.
Study Design:
Breastmilk and food records from 21 lean and 21 obese women who delivered full-term infants were analyzed at 2 months post-partum. Infant growth and adiposity were measured at birth and 2 months of age.
Result:
Breastmilk from obese mothers had higher omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio and lower concentrations of docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docasapentaenoic acid and lutein compared with lean mothers (
