[Molecular types of breast milk triacylglycerols at various stages of lactation]
Abstract:
The composition of individual triacylglycerols was studied in women milk in various periods of lactation. The spectra of triacylglycerols were studied in the early lactation milk, in the mature milk and in the late lactation milk using a method of "main components", the program of "immediate neighbour" as well as by construction of graphic plot (by means of a set "Statgraphics"). The methods of calculation used enabled one to find great differences in the triacylglycerol spectrum of mature milk as compared with those of milk in the early and late periods of lactation.

The Mammary Glands
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...
Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System III: Serum Lipid Profile
Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
