Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of industrially produced trans fatty acids (TFAs) in breast milk from mothers in Querétaro, Mexico, focusing on colostrum, transitional milk, and mature milk phases.* -
- Analysis revealed that the total TFA content was highest in colostrum, with elaidic acid being the most prevalent type of TFA across all milk stages.* -
- Importantly, no correlation was found between maternal anthropometric measurements or TFA consumption and levels in breast milk, though there was a negative correlation between TFAs and the essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in colostrum.*
The relationship between the fatty acid (FA) profile of cecotrophs and that of the milk fat was evaluated in nine multiparous New Zealand does during the first 12 days of lactation. Milk samples were obtained manually on days 6, 8, 10, and 12 postpartum and cecotrophs and feces were collected on days 7, 9, and 11 postpartum. The FA profiles of feed, milk, cecotrophs, and feces were determined using gas chromatography.
