The total antioxidant capacity of plasma of preterm infants has been suggested to be lower than that of term infants. The objective of this study was to compare the total antioxidant capacity of the breast milk of mothers who delivered prematurely with that of mothers who delivered at term.
A total of 71 breast milk samples were collected, 41 from mothers who delivered preterm (27 to 37 weeks) and 30 from mothers who delivered at term (38 to 42 weeks).
The mean total antioxidant capacity of the breast milk of mothers who delivered prematurely was higher (2.19 ± 0.88 mmol/L) than that of mothers who delivered at term (1.7 ± 0.86 mmol/L) (p = 0.024).
Breastfeeding may protect preterm infants against oxidative stress and related disorders in the neonatal period.
早产儿血浆的总抗氧化能力被认为低于足月产婴儿。本研究的目的是比较早产儿和足月产母亲的母乳中的总抗氧化能力。
共收集了 71 份母乳样本,其中 41 份来自早产儿(27 至 37 周)的母亲,30 份来自足月产(38 至 42 周)的母亲。
早产儿母亲的母乳总抗氧化能力平均值较高(2.19 ± 0.88 mmol/L),高于足月产母亲(1.7 ± 0.86 mmol/L)(p = 0.024)。
母乳喂养可能会保护早产儿免受新生儿期氧化应激和相关疾病的影响。
