Plasma amino acid concentrations in newborn infants breast fed ad libitum
1978
Pohlandt, Frank
Extract: Plasma amino acid concentrations were measured in peripheral venous blood of 40 newborn infants breast fed ad libitum. When these data are compared with amino acid concentrations of umbilical cord artery plasma, only lysine the threonine show a striking decrease after birth; the concentrations of hydroxyproline, asparagine, glutamine, proline, cystine, leucine, tyrosine, and ornithine significantly increase during the first days of life. The high protein concentration of colostrum and transitional milk may explain this observation.
