Breast Milk Hormones and Regulation of Glucose Homeostasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growing evidence suggests that a complex relationship exists between the central nervous system and peripheral organs involved in energy homeostasis. It consists in the balance between food intake and energy expenditure and includes the regulation of nutrient levels in storage organs, as well as in blood, in particular blood glucose. Therefore, food intake, energy expenditure, and glucose homeostasis are strictly connected to each other. Several hormones, such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and ghrelin, are involved in this complex regulation. These hormones play a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism and are involved in the development of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Recently, their presence in breast milk has been detected, suggesting that they may be involved in the regulation of growth in early infancy and could influence the programming of energy balance later in life. This paper focuses on hormones present in breast milk and their role in glucose homeostasis.

متن کاملRelationship of Breast Milk Leptin with Maternal and Infant Adiposity
INTRODUCTION: Leptin the product of the obese gene (ob) is synthesized by adipose tissue and contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis and food intake. Recently, immunoreactive leptin was reported to be present in human milk. The aim of this study was to determine any possible link between breast milk leptin concentrations and adiposity in exclusively breast-fed infants. METHODS: 130 ...
متن کاملBreast Milk Hormones and Their Protective Effect on Obesity
Data accumulated over recent years have significantly advanced our understanding of growth factors, cytokines, and hormones in breast milk. Here we deal with leptin, adiponectin, IGF-I, ghrelin, and the more recently discovered hormones, obestatin, and resistin, which are present in breast milk and involved in food intake regulation and energy balance. Little is known about these compounds in i...
متن کاملMom’s Milk Molds Neural Wiring for Metabolism
Vogt et al. demonstrate that, in mice, maternal high-fat feeding during lactation is sufficient to program the offspring for impaired energy and glucose homeostasis throughout their lifetime. They reveal that the resulting abnormal insulin signaling in the offspring interferes with the formation of hypothalamic neural circuits that contribute to metabolic status.
