The course, incidence, and severity of neonatal jaundice was studied in 95 Alaskan Eskimo infants. Breast-fed infants had higher bilirubin concentrations than bottle-fed babies. Both groups experienced high bilirubin levels, similar to those previously reported in Navajo and Oriental infants but greater than those observed in whites and blacks. A marked capacity to inhibit hepatic glucuronyl transferase was observed in breast-milk specimens but only partly accounted for the bilirubin differences between breast-fed and bottle-fed Eskimo infants. These data suggest that in some racial groups predisposed to neonatal jaundice, feeding practices significantly alter the course and severity of hyperbilirubinemia.
对95名阿拉斯加爱斯基摩婴儿的新生儿黄疸病程、发病率和严重程度进行了研究。母乳喂养的婴儿胆红素浓度高于人工喂养的婴儿。两组婴儿的胆红素水平都很高，与之前在纳瓦霍和东方婴儿中报道的相似，但高于白人和黑人中观察到的水平。在母乳样本中观察到显著抑制肝脏葡萄糖醛酸转移酶的能力，但这仅部分解释了母乳喂养和人工喂养的爱斯基摩婴儿之间胆红素的差异。这些数据表明，在一些易患新生儿黄疸的种族群体中，喂养方式会显著改变高胆红素血症的病程和严重程度。
