Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Developmental Biology
  • Pediatrics

Context:

  • Human milk composition changes throughout lactation.
  • Milk contains bioactive molecules beyond basic nutrition.
  • Neonatal physiology is influenced by early-life nutrition.

Purpose:

  • To review the presence and concentration of hormones and growth factors in human milk.
  • To discuss the potential physiological roles of these milk components for the neonate.
  • To compare these factors across different lactation stages.

Summary:

  • Hormones and tissue growth factors are present in human milk.
  • Their concentrations vary during different stages of lactation.
  • These bioactive compounds likely play significant physiological roles in neonatal development.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the functional composition of human milk.
  • Highlights the importance of milk bioactives for infant growth and maturation.
  • Informs research on human milk oligosaccharides and their health benefits.
