“…ELBW infants are at high risk for osteopenia prematurorum, fractures may occur. To prevent mineral deficiencies, supplementation of human milk with commercial fortifiers is commonly performed (Allen et al, 1991;Bates & Prentice, 1994;Schanler, 1996). Nutritional needs of ELBW infants for calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium are high due to low fetal stores, immature gut, kidneys and rapid growth.…”

Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium balance: FM 85 fortification of human milk does not meet mineral needs of extremely low birthweight infants

Objective: Extremely low birthweight ( < 1000 g) infants are growing rapidly and their nutritional requirements for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium are high. Design: Prospective, mineral balance. Setting: The study was carried out at the Department of Neonatology, Virchow-Hospital, Charité Berlin and the Department of Molecular Trace Element Research, Hahn-Meitner-Institute Berlin. Subjects: Nineteen infants < 1000 g birthweight were admitted, nine infants dropped out and 10 infants (birthweight 730 -995 g), fed fortified human milk were included. Intervention: We collected infant's urine and feces for 72 h, a sample of human milk and infant's blood at 7 and 12 weeks of age. Elements were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrophotometry. Results: Mean (s.d.) mineral concentration in milk was low especially at 12 weeks: calcium 9.88 ( AE 3.58) mmol=l, phosphorus 7.02 ( AE 3.81) mmol=l, magnesium 1.59 ( AE 0.54) mmol=l. Calcium retention was minimal or negative during the study, whereas phosphorus and magnesium balances were positive. Caffeine and diuretics increased mineral excretion. Serum alkaline phosphatase was mostly < 800 U=l, and 162 U=l in one infant with zinc deficiency at 12 weeks. Alkaline phosphatase correlated with absorption and retention of phosphorus, and with longitudinal growth. Conclusions: Infants < 1000 g have high nutritional needs for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, which are not met by a human milk fortifier widely used in Europe. Controlled trials are needed to assess requirements, duration and risks of mineral supplementation.

“…Vitamin E is considered to act primarily as a lipidsoluble antioxidant, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids and related substances from peroxidation and hence from rancidity (Bates & Prentice 1994). The chemistry of vitamin E is rather complex since there are eight compounds (four tocopherols and four tocotrienols) that exhibit vitamin E activity.…”

Revilla I., Lobos-Ortega I., Vivar-Quintana A., González-Martín M.I., Hernández-Hierro J.M., González-Pérez C. (2014): Variations in the contents of vitamins A and E during the ripening of cheeses with different compositions. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 342-347.We investigated the composition in vitamins A and E of cheeses made from the milks of ewes, goats and cows. A total of 84 cheeses of known composition were prepared and controlled to determine the influence of different factors, e.g. the variable proportions of cow's, ewe's, and goat's milks, seasonality (winter/summer), and evolution during the course of ripening. The variable proportions of milk from the different species did not vary in either the amount of vitamin A or that of vitamin E in the cheeses. Seasonality and ripening were seen to have a significant effect on the concentration of vitamin A.

“…Despite the body of knowledge on the concentration of trace elements in human milk collected from various stages of lactation (Bates and Prentice 1994;Krachler et al 1998;Grzunov Letinić et al 2016), not much is known on the occurrence of rare-earth elements (REEs). They represent an emerging group of pollutants whose emissions, and consequently exposures, have increased over recent decades due to certain human activities (Pagano et al 2015).…”

Rare-earth elements (REEs) are used in a growing number of applications, and their release to environment has increased over the decades. Knowledge of REEs in human milk and factors that could possibly influence their concentration is scarce. This study evaluated the concentrations of 16 REEs (Ce, Eu, Er, Gd, La, Nd, Pr, Sc, Sm, Dy, Ho, Lu, Tb, Tm, Y, and Yb) in human colostrum milk collected from Polish women (n = 100) with the ICP-OES technique. The concentrations (mean ± SD) of Pr (41.9 ± 13.2 μg L −1 ), Nd (11.0 ± 4.0 μg L −1 ), La (7.1 ± 5.2 μg L −1 ), and Er (2.2 ± 0.8 μg L −1 ) were found above detection limits. The total mean ± SD concentration of detected REEs was 60.9 ± 17.8 μg L −1 . Current smokers displayed significantly increased Nd concentrations compared to women who had never smoked. No other associations between REEs in colostrum milk and age, diet in pregnancy (food supplement use and frequency of fish, meat, and vegetable consumption) or place of living (urban/rural) were found. This study adds to general understanding of the occurrence and turnover of REEs in women and human fluids.
