Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidative Capacity Are Unaltered in Transitional Breast Milk Exposed to Light from Women Giving Birth to Preterm Infants before 32 Weeks of Gestation.

Breast milk (BM) is the primary nutrition for infants and has a high content of lipids. Preterm infants receive expressed BM via tube feeding, and they are frequently treated with phototherapy. When parenteral nutrition (PN) is exposed to light and/or phototherapy, lipid peroxidation (LPO) increases.
