Uniformity of human milk
1979
Hall, Barbara
Extract: Composition of human milk was studied during the feed in six women, throughout the day in one woman on 3 consecutive days and in three women on 30 occasions during established lactation. The total lipid content varied in the course of suckling as well as diurnally in a regular and predictable manner. The fatty acid composition of the lipid remained constant and was similar in the subjects examined. Fatty acid pattern of milk lipid of one woman supplementing her diet with unsaturated fats was studied. Specific changes in the milk lipid composition, induced by the altered diet, are discussed in relation to the mechanism of milk fat synthesis.
