Antioxidant and Oxidation Features of Early Milk from Mothers of Preterm Babies
AI simplified
Abstract
Transitional milk from mothers of preterm infants shows slow individual variations in antioxidative defence composition.
- Vitamin C is identified as the main low-molecular-weight antioxidant in transitional milk, primarily found in the whey fraction.
- Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) is higher in whole transitional milk compared to skim milk and whey.
- Static oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) is lower in whole transitional milk than in skim milk and whey.
- Antioxidative enzyme activities are consistent across different samples of transitional milk from mothers of preterm infants.
