The probiotic potential of 47 selected strains Lactobacillus spp. was investigated. were examined for resistance to pH 2.5 and 0.3% oxgall, adhesion Caco-2 cells, antimicrobial activities against enteric pathogenic bacteria in model systems. From the results obtained vitro, five strains, rhamnosus 19070-2, L. reuteri DSM 12246, LGG, delbrueckii subsp. lactis CHCC 2329, casei alactus 3137, vivo studies. daily consumption by 12 healthy volunteers two doses 10(10) freeze-dried 18 days followed...
ABSTRACT This medical position article by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition summarises current status of breast‐feeding practice, present knowledge on composition human milk, advisable duration exclusive partial breast‐feeding, growth breast‐fed infant, health benefits associated with nutritional supplementation infants, contraindications to breast‐feeding. emphasises important role paediatricians in implementation policies devised promote The...
Fecal samples were obtained from a cohort of 330 healthy Danish infants at 9, 18, and 36 months after birth, enabling characterization interbacterial relationships by use quantitative PCR targeting 31 selected bacterial 16S rRNA gene targets representing different phylogenetic levels. Nutritional parameters measures growth body composition determined investigated in relation to the observed development microbiota composition. We found that significant changes gut occurred, particularly age 9...
Circulating IGF-I and -II are bound to specific insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding proteins (IGFBPs), of which IGFBP-3 binds the majority IGFs. levels regulated by GH have been suggested provide additional information on secretory capacity compared IGF-I. However, diagnostic value is still controversial, perhaps because quality available normative data for varies. It has recently shown that a large number individuals required establish reference ranges take into account age, sex, body...
Abstract Breastfeeding profoundly shapes the infant gut microbiota, which is critical for early life immune development, and microbiota can impact host physiology in various ways, such as through production of metabolites. However, few breastmilk-dependent microbial metabolites mediating host–microbiota interactions are currently known. Here, we demonstrate that breastmilk-promoted Bifidobacterium species convert aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine tyrosine) into their respective...
The potential influence of maternal obesity on infant gut microbiota may occur either through vertically transmitted microbes or the dietary habits family. Recent studies have suggested that heritability partly be caused by transmission “obesogenic” microbes. However, findings presented here suggest per se does not affect overall composition and its development after introduction complementary foods. Rather, progression in feeding is found to major determinant for establishment. Expanding...
The establishment of the human gut microbiota in early life has been associated with later health and disease. During 1st months after birth, microbial composition is known to be affected by mode delivery, use antibiotics, geographical location type feeding (breast/formula). Consequently, neonatal period infancy attracted much attention. However, this first continues develop until age 3 years, these years have designated "a window opportunity" for modulation. beginning end currently debated,...
The sample sizes of infants from the selected studies are shown in Tables 2-4, categorized by duration breast-feeding, timing introduction solid foods, and use infant formula or other milks. Table 5 shows cross-tabulation breast-feeding age supplemental milk formula. In total, 453 were included, whom 226 breast-fed for at least 12 months. Of these 226, 141 not regularly given milks during first year life. total sample, foods introduced 4 to months 42% (Table 3), 6 7 38%, 8 9 17%, after 2%....
ABSTRACT: This comment by the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Committee on summarizes available information composition use of soy protein formulae as substitutes breastfeeding cows' milk well their suitability safety supporting adequate growth development in infants. Soy is a source that inferior to milk, with lower digestibility bioavailability methionine content. For infant formulae, only isolates can be used, minimum content required...
