High -calorie breast milk and obesity: new insights of the mother

The popularity of children’s obesity constitutes a continuous challenge. Obesity and excessive increased weight of pregnant women are important prediction indicators for children and adult obesity. Recognizing that breast milk is the main source of early nutrition, and its composition is affected by maternal factors. The researchers conducted a study to explore the mother’s weight index (BMI) (BMI), serum lipids and insulin levels, fat, fat and fat The content of fat and fat and breast milk content.
Professor Michael Ross and Dr. MINA DESAI of the University of California, Dr. Manasa Kavasery, Mansa Kavasery, Mackenzie Cervantes, and Guang Han from the UCLA Medical Center, from Bernardo from the Federal University University of DE PELOTAS University Professor Horta, Bernardo, Dr. Kelly Coca’s Bernardo Professor Horta, Dr. Kelly Coca, Professor Kelly Coca Dr. Suleyma Costa from the University of Santa Paul and Kuppanas University studied these associations. Their discovery was published in the Children’s Magazine.
The study includes women with exclusive breastfeeding at 7-8 weeks postpartum. They are divided into normal and overweight/OB groups according to their BMI. Researchers collected continuous breast milk samples from Foremilk to Hindmilk, and analyzed samples and maternal blood to evaluate serum lipids and insulin levels.
The main findings show that compared with women who are normal in BMI, women with heavy or obesity in breast milk are significantly higher in breast milk in breast milk. The first batch of OW/OB women and the final Hindmilk sample contain more fat and calories. Among all participants, the concentration of serum trigines, insulin and HOMA-IR of the mother’s serum is significantly related to the concentration of glycerin.
Dr. Ross said: “Our research shows that the higher milk fat content among OW/OB women has a heat effect on the growth of baby and child obesity. This shows the potential of adjusting the content of milk fat by reducing the mother’s serum lipid or insulin. “
The investigation emphasized that the higher energy intake of the infantile period is related to the increase in weight gain in the next few years and the increase in obesity risk. The protein, carbohydrates and solid content between the two groups are not significantly different in breast milk. However, from the first milk sample in the two groups to the last milk sample, the growth of fat and calories increased significantly, the fat concentration increased several times, and in OW/OB women, the fat and calorie content of fat content increased increased Almost doubled.
The study also checked the lipid spectrum of breast milk and maternal plasma. Compared with women with normal BMI, OW/OB women’s milk, glycin, glycerin, regulatin and phospholipids in OW/OB women’s milk is higher. There is no significant difference between the selings of maternal plasma lipid levels between the two groups. Except for total free fatty acids, OW/OB women’s fatty acids are low.
Dr. Ross pointed out: “Our discovery emphasizes the importance of the health of pregnant women and its direct impact on breast milk. By solving the obesity and metabolic health of pregnant women, we can improve the nutritional quality of breast milk and reduce the risk of child obesity.”
The study shows that reducing the dietary intervention measures or pharmacological methods of serum lipids or insulin of maternal serum lipids may regulate breast milk composition, which affects the growth of babies and reduces the risk of obesity. It is necessary to further study these intervention measures and its effectiveness in improving breast milk quality.
In short, Dr. Ross and his team provided valuable insights on the impact of mother BMI and metabolic health on the composition of breast milk. Their discovery emphasizes the necessity of targeted strategies for obesity and optimization of infant nutrition for pregnant women, and ultimately aims to curb the continuous growth of children’s obesity.
