Docosahexaenoic acid-rich algae oil supplementation in mothers of preterm infants is associated with a modification in breast milk oxylipins profile.

Oxylipins are derived from enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation of n-3 and n-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are known to be involved in inflammatory processes. The aim of this study was to describe the breast milk oxylipin profile following a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation of mothers of preterm infants.

Milk and plasma proteomes from cows facing diet-induced milk fat depression are related to immunity, lipid metabolism and inflammation.

Milk proteins are a source of bioactive molecules for calves and humans that may also reflect the physiology and metabolism of dairy cows. Dietary lipid supplements are classically used to modulate the lipid content and composition of bovine milk, with potential impacts on the nutrient's homeostasis and the systemic inflammation of cows that remains to be more explored. This study aimed at identifying discriminant proteins and their associated pathways in twelve Holstein cows (87 ± 7 days in milk), multiparous and non-pregnant, fed for 28 d a diet either, supplemented with 5% DM intake of corn oil and with 50% additional starch from wheat in the concentrate (COS, n = 6) chosen to induce a milk fat depression, or with 3% DM intake of hydrogenated palm oil (HPO, n = 6) known to increase milk fat content.

Milk fat depression and plasma lipids in dairy cows and goats.

This study examines the effects of diets supplemented with various lipids selected to induce divergent milk fat content responses (including a milk fat depression) between dairy cows and goats on plasma lipid composition. The objective was to better understand the mechanisms behind the regulation of milk fat secretion in these two ruminant species. Twelve Holstein cows and 12 Alpine goats were fed a basal diet not supplemented (CTL) or supplemented with corn oil plus wheat starch (COS, 5% DM intake (DMI)), marine algae powder of Schizochytrium sp.

Docosahexaenoic acid-rich algae oil supplementation on breast milk fatty acid profile of mothers who delivered prematurely: a randomized clinical trial.

Preterm infants are deficient in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a fatty acid (FA) associated with an increase in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In two previous randomized control trials, DHA supplementation did not reduce the risk of BPD. We examined the breast milk FA profile, collected 14 days after birth, of mothers who delivered before 29 weeks of gestation and who were supplemented with DHA-rich algae oil or a placebo within 72 h after birth as part of the MOBYDIck trial.

Short communication: Diets supplemented with starch and corn oil, marine algae, or hydrogenated palm oil differently affect selected metabolite concentrations in cow and goat milk.

The objective was to investigate the effects of species (cow vs. goat) and of various dietary lipid supplements, known to modulate milk fat content, on selected metabolites and enzymes in milk and to explore their correlations with performance traits. Twelve Holstein cows and 12 Alpine goats, all multiparous and nonpregnant, and at 86 ± 24.
