Introduction In resource-poor settings, mother-infant dyads are commonly exposed to environmental factors increasing the risk of infectious diseases and possibly influencing cytokine profile human milk (HM). Hormones in HM have been proposed influence appetite-regulation growth exclusively breastfed infants. Objective To compare cytokines appetite-regulating hormone (ARH) concentrations mothers from four contrasting populations investigate associations with infant growth. Method samples 825...

Abstract Increased first-trimester low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) concentration has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as gestational diabetes. The B vitamins folate, B-6, and total B-12 are key for the methyl group-dependent endogenous synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which is needed synthesis, e.g., very (VLDL), precursor circulating LDL-C. Maternal B-vitamin usually declines across trimesters. Whether changes in maternal concentrations cholesterol (TC), triglycerides...
