Oxidative status in colostrum and mature breast milk related to gestational age and fetal growth.

Introduction: The effect of gestational age and fetal growth on the oxidant/antioxidant status of breast milk is poorly understood.

Objective: To evaluate the oxidative stress biomarkers in colostrum and mature milk according to gestational age and fetal growth.

Method: A longitudinal study with mothers of premature and term infants, born in a tertiary referral hospital between 2014-2018.

COLOSTRUM FAT AND ENERGY CONTENT: EFFECT OF GESTATIONAL AGE AND FETAL GROWTH.

Objective: To determine whether fat content and energy value change in colostrum according to gestational age and fetal growth.

Methods: Cross-sectional study with mothers of preterm and term infants born in a tertiary center in 2015-2016. Inclusion criteria: single pregnancy, absence of diabetes, chorioamnionitis and mastitis, no use of illicit drugs or alcohol, without fetal congenital malformation or infection.

Effect of preeclampsia on human milk cytokine levels.

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a systemic inflammatory disease, and its effect on human milk immune components is poorly understood.

Objective: To investigate whether PE affects human milk cytokine levels.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study involving mothers diagnosed with PE and with singleton pregnancy with no fetal malformation.
