Significance of growth modulators in human milk
Abstract:
Human milk contains growth modulators of potential clinical importance to the neonate. Evidence from animal and cell culture models as well as ancillary evidence about their stability and the way some of them are processed for secretion suggest they are probably physiologically significant. Their presence in human milk does not by itself establish their importance; however, it is useful to explore their potential functional roles. Growth modulators present in human milk include: EGF, NGF, certain enzymes, and taurine.
