Breast Milk Supply of MicroRNA Associated with Leptin and Adiponectin Is Affected by Maternal Overweight/Obesity and Influences Infancy BMI
28 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Breast milk constitutes a dietary source of leptin, adiponectin and microRNAs (miRNAs) for newborns. Expression of miRNAs previously associated with maternal obesity, leptin or adiponectin function were assessed and their impact on infant weight analyzed. Milk samples were collected (at month 1, 2, and 3) from a cohort of 59 healthy lactating mothers (38 normal-weight and 21 overweight/obese (BMI ≥ 25)), and...
