Abstract
alpha-Tocopherol content in breast milk of 28 mothers who delivered preterm infants (preterm milk) and 43 mothers who delivered full-term infants (term milk) were measured. alpha-Tocopherol concentration in preterm milk did not differ significantly from that of term milk in the first 12 days of lactation (P > 0.05). There is a higher alpha-tocopherol concentration in the early colostrum, however, it decreases with the lactational days significantly. The investigation suggests that early breast-feeding would be beneficial to the improvement of vitamin E intake in neonates during the early life.Entities:
