Analysis of Lipids in Human Milk At Different Gestational Ages

Plain-language summary

Various studies have shown that the milk of a preterm infant differs from that of a term infant in the composition of micronutrients, vitamins, macronutrients, carbohydrates and proteins. The study of lipidomic is of particular interest because the role of fatty acids is known both as essential constituents of cell membranes and as molecules actively involved in energy metabolism. The study of human milk would offer the advantage of offering the best type of nutrition for the newborn at each specific period of life, in the event of a lack of mother's milk.
