Association between Human Milk Fatty Acid Esters of Hydroxy Fatty Acids and Maternal Body Mass Index and Early Infant Growth: A Longitudinal Study
Higher maternal BMI was associated with higher concentrations of 2 saturated FAHFAs (5-PAHSA and 9-SAHSA) and a lower concentration of 1 polyunsaturated FAHFA (13-LAHLA) in BM. Specific FAHFA isomers were associated with growth and body composition development in exclusively breastfed infants during early infancy. Expanding the sample size and conducting further research is necessary to explore the mechanisms of action in the future.
