The aim of the study was to understand the internal relationship between milk quality and lipid metabolism in cow mammary glands. A serial of studies was conducted to assess the molecular mechanism of PRL/microRNA-183/IRS1 (Insulin receptor substrate) pathway, which regulates milk fat metabolism in dairy cows. microRNA-183 (miR-183) was overexpressed and inhibited in cow mammary epithelial cells (CMECs), and its function was detected. The function of miR-183 in inhibiting milk fat metabolism was clarified by triglycerides (TAG), cholesterol and marker genes. There is a CpG island in the 5'-flanking promoter area of miR-183, which may inhibit the expression of miR-183 after methylation. Our results showed that prolactin (PRL) inhibited the expression of miR-183 by methylating the 5' terminal CpG island of miR-183. The upstream regulation of PRL on miR-183 was demonstrated, and construction of the lipid metabolism regulation network of microRNA-183 and target gene IRS1 was performed. These results reveal the molecular mechanism of PRL/miR-183/IRS1 pathway regulating milk fat metabolism in dairy cows, thus providing an experimental basis for the improvement of milk quality.

Background: Early infant feeding is essential for children's development and future health, particularly in preventing obesity, which is the most common nutrition-related disorder in children worldwide.

Summary: Obesity, characterized by excess body fat and numerous complications, arises from a combination of genetic susceptibility and an obesogenic environment, including lifestyle behaviors related to energy balance. Eating habits start to be shaped early in life, making the introduction of solid foods a critical period.

Rapid weight gain in infancy is associated with an increased risk of later adiposity. Very rarely, however, exclusively breastfed infants experience excessive weight gain (EWG) during the period of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) when breast milk is the only source of nutrition. We investigated growth and body composition at 36 months in children experiencing EWG during EBF.

Utilizing preterm infant body composition assessments to guide neonatal nutrition.

Department of Pediatrics, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

Purpose Of Review: The use of body composition to assess the quality of infant growth may add valuable information to pediatric clinical care. Preterm infants have differences in their fat and muscle mass development compared with infants born at term, which may be related to their early nutritional exposures. This review focuses on recent studies examining early nutrition in preterm infants and related body composition outcomes in the newborn period and beyond.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Diponegoro, Prof. Soedarto, SH Street, Tembalang, Semarang, 50275, Central Java, Indonesia.

Research Background: With the increasing consumption of food commodities, particularly rice, and the substantial volume of food imports in Indonesia, there is an increasing need to explore alternative food sources. Rice analogues emerge as a potential substitute for traditional rice, serving as a viable staple food option. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the composition of raw material, namely sago and corn flour, on the physicochemical properties and consumer acceptance of rice analogues.
