This comparative study depicts the levels of immunoglobulins such as IgA and IgG in human breast milk samples with those of cow's milk samples. Immunoglobulins A and G were estimated by the method of Radial Immunodiffusion (RID). Experimental analysis showed that the level of Immunoglobulin A in breast milk samples were found to contain no traces of this antibody. IgG content in cow's milk (16....

Human milk is the preferred diet for preterm infants as it protects against a multitude of NICU challenges, specifically necrotizing enterocolitis. Infants who receive greater than 50% of mother's own milk (MOM) in the 2 weeks after birth have a significantly decreased risk of NEC. An additional factor in the recent declining rates of NEC is the increased utilization of donor human milk (DHM). ...

Human milk is an important food source for infant because it contains a large number of nutritional substances, growth and immune factors. However, human milk may be contaminated with environmental pollutants when mothers are exposed to these pollutants. In particular, lipophilic organic pollutants are likely to accumulate in milk fat. Therefore, the determination of the organic pollutants leve...

Aim—To evaluate the eVect of fortification on the osmolality of human milk. Methods—The osmolality of 47 samples of human milk was determined at baseline, just after, and 24 hours after supplementation with five diVerent human milk fortifiers (HMF) at 4°C. Results—Ten minutes after HMF supplementation the osmolality of human milk was significantly higher than the sum of the respective values of...

aim : the current investigation aimed to evaluate ruminant raw milk as a reservoir source of this bacterium and analyze the diversity of caga and vaca genotypes as h. pylori virulence factors to find any relationship between these genotypes in human and animal h. pylori strains. background: the way of transmission of helicobacter pylori as one of the most controversial bacteria in the world whi...

Donor human milk has been used in the United States for 90 years, but recent advances in human milk science and laboratory techniques have led to increasing use of this resource. Pediatricians began using donor human milk in the 1900s in response to anecdotal observation that premature infants had better health outcomes when receiving their own mothers’ milk. Since then, a formalized human milk...
